6204.44.40.10 - Women's (636)

This HTS category, 6204.44.40.10, specifically classifies women's dresses constructed from artificial fibers, excluding those that are knitted or crocheted. The scope encompasses a wide variety of dresses designed for women, ranging from casual daywear to more formal attire, provided they are made with materials such as rayon, acetate, or acrylic. The key defining characteristic for inclusion here is the material composition of artificial fibers.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6204.44.40.20, which is designated for girls' dresses. The primary differentiator lies in the intended wearer, with this code exclusively applying to garments made for adult women, as opposed to those for young girls. The construction and material criteria, however, remain consistent between these two sibling classifications.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code rests on ensuring the garment is indeed a dress, is intended for women, and is made from artificial fibers, thereby distinguishing it from other dress categories based on material (e.g., cotton, silk, synthetic) or age group.
