6208.99.30.20 - Other (752)

This HTS classification, 6208.99.30.20, encompasses "other" articles of apparel and clothing accessories for women or girls that fall under the broader category of not knitted or crocheted garments. Specifically, this subcategory applies to items of silk or silk waste that contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, and which are not specifically classified under other headings within 6208. These are typically specialized garments not fitting the descriptions of bathrobes, dressing gowns, or similar articles, and not falling into other material compositions.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6208.99.30.10 (Bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles), is crucial. While both deal with silk-based women's or girls' apparel not knitted or crocheted, 6208.99.30.10 is exclusively for items like bathrobes and dressing gowns. This category, 6208.99.30.20, is for all other silk-predominant garments of this type, meaning it captures items like slips, petticoats, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, undershirts, and similar articles when they meet the silk content requirement and are not otherwise enumerated.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification within 6208.99.30.20 is on confirming that the garment is intended for women or girls, is not knitted or crocheted, is made from textile materials other than cotton, man-made fibers, or wool, and importantly, consists of 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, and is not a bathrobe, dressing gown, or similar article. Examples could include delicate silk slips or intricate silk nightwear that do not fit the more narrowly defined sibling categories.
