6204.52 - Of cotton:

This HTS category, 6204.52, specifically classifies skirts and divided skirts designed for women or girls, which are constructed entirely or predominantly from cotton. This broad classification encompasses a wide range of skirts, including those that are tailored, casual, or for specific occasions, provided they meet the material and construction requirements.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While all fall under the broader heading for women's or girls' skirts, 6204.52 is exclusively for those made of cotton. Its sibling, 6204.51, covers similar garments made from wool or fine animal hair, and 6204.53 pertains to skirts manufactured from synthetic fibers. Therefore, the primary classification criterion at this level is the textile material composition.

Further refinement within the 6204.52 category is achieved through its subcategories. The subcategory 6204.52.10.00 is reserved for certified hand-loomed and folklore products, recognizing specific artisanal production methods and cultural significance. All other skirts meeting the cotton requirement and not falling into the certified hand-loomed category are classified under the more general subcategory 6204.52.20. This hierarchical structure allows for precise classification based on both material and specific production or cultural attributes.
