6208.11.00.00 - Of man-made fibers (652) 🖩

This HTS category, 6208.11.00.00, specifically covers slips and petticoats for women and girls that are exclusively constructed from man-made fibers. These garments are typically worn as underlayers to provide shape, modesty, or to prevent outer garments from clinging. Examples include traditional slips, half-slips, and petticoats made from synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon, rayon, or acetate.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its sibling category, 6208.19, which pertains to slips and petticoats made from "other textile materials." This would encompass garments fabricated from natural fibers like cotton, silk, or wool, as well as certain regenerated cellulosic fibers not classified as man-made. The primary differentiator for 6208.11.00.00 lies in the definitive presence of man-made fibers as the sole textile component.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6208.11.00.00 is determined solely by confirming that the garment in question is a slip or petticoat for women or girls and that it is wholly composed of man-made fibers. Any blended fabrics containing non-man-made fibers would necessitate examination under different HTS provisions.
