6204.41 - Of wool or fine animal hair:

This HTS category, 6204.41, specifically classifies women's or girls' dresses that are not knitted or crocheted, and are predominantly made of wool or fine animal hair. This material composition is the defining characteristic, differentiating these garments from other dress classifications within HTS Chapter 62.

Unlike sibling categories such as 6204.42 (of cotton), 6204.43 (of synthetic fibers), or 6204.44 (of artificial fibers), this category is exclusively for dresses where wool or fine animal hair constitutes the primary textile material by weight. The term "fine animal hair" refers to fibers such as cashmere, mohair, alpaca, llama, vicuña, and camel hair, excluding coarser animal hairs like sheep's wool.

The subcategories under 6204.41 further refine the classification based on the presence of other significant textile components. For instance, 6204.41.10.00 is designated for dresses containing 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, indicating a blended composition. The remaining dresses within this wool or fine animal hair category fall under 6204.41.20, encompassing those that do not meet the silk admixture criteria.
