6204.43.20.00 - Containing 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (636) 🖩

This HTS category encompasses women's or girls' dresses specifically classified as "Of synthetic fibers" and further designated as "Other" within that sub-division. For a dress to fall under this classification, it must meet the criteria of containing 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, as indicated by the code 6204.43.20.00. This composition is a key determinant, differentiating it from dresses made primarily of other fiber types.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling classifications. While all fall under "Dresses: Of synthetic fibers: Other:", this specific code is defined by its significant silk content. Other sibling categories at this level, such as those containing high percentages of wool or fine animal hair, or entirely different compositions, are classified separately based on their predominant material. The presence of 30% or more silk by weight is the sole criterion for inclusion here, overriding the "synthetic fiber" classification of the base material.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions for this code hinge entirely on meeting the material composition requirement. Importers and exporters must meticulously verify the weight percentage of silk or silk waste within the dress to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with customs regulations. This precise material threshold is the defining characteristic for this specific tariff item.
