Overview
This HTS classification covers women's and girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses that are not knitted or crocheted. This broad category encompasses a variety of upper-body garments designed for feminine wear, characterized by features typically associated with these types of apparel, such as collars, cuffs, buttons, and various necklines. The key determining factor for inclusion in this heading is the garment's design, intended use, and construction method, specifically excluding knitted or crocheted articles.
Within the broader scope of Chapter 62, which deals with apparel and clothing accessories not made up of knitted or crocheted fabrics, this heading is distinct from categories covering other types of outer garments like coats, suits, or dresses. Its sibling categories at this level would generally include other apparel items made from similar non-knitted textile materials, differentiated by garment type or intended wearer, such as men's shirts or children's wear. The focus here is specifically on blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses for women and girls.
The subcategories under heading 6206 provide further refinement based on the primary textile material from which these garments are constructed. This allows for more granular classification, enabling specific duties and trade statistics to be applied. The subdivisions distinguish between garments made of silk or silk waste (6206.10), wool or fine animal hair (6206.20), cotton (6206.30), man-made fibers (6206.40), and finally, any other textile materials not covered by the preceding subheadings (6206.90).
