6206.90.00 - Of other textile materials

This HTS classification, 6206.90.00, covers women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses that are not knitted or crocheted and are manufactured from textile materials other than silk, wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or man-made fibers. These items are distinct from their sibling categories, which are specifically designated for garments made from these more common textile materials. Therefore, this code is a residual category for garments composed of materials such as linen, ramie, hemp, jute, or blends of these with other fibers where none of the specified dominant fibers (silk, wool, cotton, man-made) determine the primary classification.

Within this residual category, further distinctions are made based on specific trade restraints that may apply. The subcategories, 6206.90.00.10, .20, and .30, indicate that certain garments falling under this general description may be subject to quotas or other import limitations depending on whether they are considered to be predominantly composed of materials that, for the purposes of those restraints, are grouped with cotton, wool, or man-made fibers respectively. The remaining subcategory, 6206.90.00.40, serves as a catch-all for those items not subject to any such specific trade restraints.
