6204.59.40 - Other

This HTS category, designated by the code 6204.59.40, encompasses skirts and divided skirts of textile materials that are not specifically classified under other subheadings within heading 6204. The "Other" designation indicates a residual category for garments of this type when their specific textile composition does not align with more precisely defined material categories. This section of the tariff schedule focuses on women's or girls' apparel, excluding swimwear, and specifically addresses skirts and divided skirts that are not knitted or crocheted.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its residual nature, covering skirts made from textile materials not falling under explicit classifications for artificial fibers or other specific textile compositions that might be detailed in sibling or parent headings. For instance, if a skirt is made from silk, linen, or a blend not specifically enumerated elsewhere, it would likely be found within this "Other" classification.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to manage specific import quotas or trade agreements. The subcategories, such as those subject to cotton, wool, or man-made fiber restraints, highlight the importance of precise material identification for compliance purposes. The existence of an "Other" subcategory under 6204.59.40 itself further refines classification, ensuring that skirts not falling under any specific material restraint are appropriately categorized.
