6204.31.10.20 - Girls' (435) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6204.31.10.20, specifically designates girls' suit-type jackets and blazers. These garments are designed to be part of a coordinated suit or ensemble for young females, falling within the broader category of non-knitted or non-crocheted apparel. The defining material characteristic for this subcategory is that the jacket or blazer must contain 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This composition requirement is crucial for accurate tariff classification.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6204.31.10.10, is the target demographic. While both fall under "Of wool or fine animal hair: Containing 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste" for suit-type jackets and blazers, this specific code is for "Girls'," whereas the sibling code is for "Women's." This differentiation is based on accepted sizing and design conventions for apparel aimed at different age groups within the female population.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 6204.31.10.20. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level, based on the garment type (suit-type jacket or blazer), the intended wearer (girls), the material composition (30% or more silk or silk waste), and the overarching material group (wool or fine animal hair). Importers must ensure that the merchandise precisely meets these criteria to avoid misclassification.
