6208.19 - Of other textile materials:

This HTS category, 6208.19, encompasses slips and petticoats for women or girls that are not exclusively made of man-made fibers. These garments are designed to be worn as underlayers to provide a smooth silhouette beneath outer clothing, or for modesty and warmth. They are part of the broader classification of non-knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories, specifically falling within the subcategory for women's or girls' undergarments and similar articles.

Distinguishing 6208.19 from its sibling category, 6208.11.00.00, is crucial. While 6208.11.00.00 is reserved for slips and petticoats exclusively constructed from man-made fibers, 6208.19 covers those made from other textile materials. This distinction is primarily based on the fiber composition of the garment.

The subcategories within 6208.19 provide further refinement based on the specific textile materials used. These include classifications for garments made of cotton, those containing a high percentage of silk or silk waste, and a residual "other" category for any remaining slips and petticoats not covered by the more specific material classifications. This granular breakdown ensures accurate duty assessment by clearly identifying the predominant or significant material content of the article.
