6204.51.00 - Of wool or fine animal hair

This HTS classification pertains to skirts and divided skirts designed for women or girls, specifically those made from wool or fine animal hair. These garments are characterized by their construction from these natural animal fibers, which impart distinct qualities such as warmth, drape, and texture. The scope of this category is limited to outer garments of this type, excluding any knitted or crocheted items which would fall under a different chapter of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

The key differentiator for this category, 6204.51, lies in its material composition. It stands apart from sibling categories such as 6204.52 (of cotton), 6204.53 (of synthetic fibers), and 6204.59 (of other textile materials) by exclusively encompassing skirts and divided skirts made from wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, the presence and proportion of wool or fine animal hair are critical for correct classification within this specific heading.

Within this classification, further distinctions are made based on the intended wearer. Subcategories 6204.51.00.10 for women's skirts and 6204.51.00.20 for girls' skirts allow for a more granular reporting and statistical analysis based on age demographic, while maintaining the shared characteristic of being skirts made from wool or fine animal hair.
