6209.90 - Of other textile materials:

The HTS code 6209.90 encompasses babies' garments and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted, and are made from textile materials other than cotton or synthetic fibers. This category serves as a residual classification for baby apparel, capturing items where the primary textile content falls outside the specific definitions of the preceding subheadings. It is crucial to note that the "other textile materials" designation excludes garments primarily composed of cotton (6209.20) and synthetic fibers (6209.30), ensuring accurate segregation of goods based on their material composition.

Within this category, further distinctions are made based on the specific "other" textile materials used. For instance, specific provisions exist for garments made from wool or fine animal hair (6209.90.05.00). Additionally, items predominantly composed of silk or silk waste (6209.90.50.00), where silk constitutes 70 percent or more by weight, are separately classified. Finally, the residual subheading 6209.90.90.00 is applied to all remaining babies' garments and clothing accessories not covered by the aforementioned subcategories, ensuring a comprehensive classification framework for this product group.
