6209.20.50.35 - Sets (239)

This HTS category, 6209.20.50.35, encompasses "Sets" of infants' or children's apparel and clothing accessories, specifically when these items are made of cotton and do not fall under more specific descriptions. A "set" generally refers to two or more garments or accessories intended to be worn together, often sold as a coordinated unit. Examples can include a romper paired with a matching bonnet, or a top and bottom ensemble. The key criterion is that the components are presented as a matched set for a child.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 6209.20.50.30, which specifically covers "Sunsuits, washsuits and similar apparel." While sunsuits and washsuits are often presented as sets, they are defined by their particular construction and intended use (e.g., a one-piece garment with a specific cut and closure, or a two-piece garment for bathing/play). Therefore, 6209.20.50.35 serves as a residual category for other types of cotton infant/child sets that do not fit the more precisely defined "sunsuits, washsuits, and similar apparel."

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies on the accurate identification of the goods as a set of cotton apparel for infants or children, and confirming that they do not meet the criteria for any more specific subheadings at the 6-digit or 8-digit level. The focus remains on the material (cotton) and the target demographic (infants/children), with the "sets" designation being the primary determining factor for inclusion here.
