6208.19.20.00 - Of cotton (352)

This HTS category, 6208.19.20.00, specifically covers women's or girls' slips and petticoats manufactured from cotton. These garments are designed for wearing as an underlayer to provide smoothness, modesty, or warmth beneath outer clothing. The classification emphasizes the primary textile material, identifying cotton as the determining factor for inclusion in this particular code.

It is crucial to distinguish this code from its siblings. For instance, 6208.19.50.00 is designated for slips and petticoats where silk or silk waste constitutes 70% or more of the weight. Additionally, 6208.19.90.00 serves as a residual category for slips and petticoats made of "other textile materials" not otherwise specified. Therefore, the 70% cotton content is the defining characteristic that places an article within 6208.19.20.00.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Classification under this code relies on confirming the garment's nature as a slip or petticoat intended for women or girls and verifying that its textile composition is primarily cotton. The specific weight percentage of cotton is a key factor in ensuring correct classification and avoiding misassignment to other material-based subheadings.
