Overview
This HTS category, 6209.30, specifically classifies babies' garments and clothing accessories that are primarily manufactured from synthetic fibers. This includes a wide array of apparel designed for infants and young children, such as outerwear, sleepwear, and everyday clothing items, provided that their main component is derived from man-made fibers like polyester, nylon, or acrylic.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS code 6209.20 covers similar baby garments but exclusively those made of cotton, while 6209.90 encompasses items made from other textile materials not specified in the other subcategories, such as silk or linen. Therefore, the determining factor for classification under 6209.30 is the presence and dominance of synthetic fibers in the construction of the garment.
Within this category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. The subcategories 6209.30.10.00 and 6209.30.20.00 distinguish between specific types of garments like blouses, shirts, trousers, breeches, and shorts, with the stipulation that these are not imported as part of a coordinated set. The remaining items that do not fall into these specific garment types are classified under 6209.30.30, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all synthetic-fiber baby apparel not otherwise specified.
