6204.59 - Of other textile materials:

This HTS category, 6204.59, encompasses skirts and divided skirts designed for women or girls, which are not knitted or crocheted, and are constructed from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. Essentially, it acts as a residual category for skirts made from materials that do not fall into the more specific classifications. Examples of materials that would be classified here include those derived from silk, linen, or other vegetable fibers, as well as composite materials where the predominant fiber is not wool, cotton, or synthetic.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings, 6204.51, 6204.52, and 6204.53. HTS code 6204.51 is exclusively for skirts made of wool or fine animal hair. Similarly, 6204.52 is reserved for skirts composed primarily of cotton, while 6204.53 covers those made from synthetic fibers. Therefore, 6204.59 serves as the appropriate classification for garments where the primary textile component does not meet the definitions of these specific sibling categories.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the specific material composition. The subcategory 6204.59.40, designated as "Other," is for items not specifically enumerated. This highlights the hierarchical nature of the HTS system, where broad categories are broken down into more specific classifications to ensure accurate tariff application based on detailed material composition.
