6209.90.30.10 - Sunsuits, washsuits and similar apparel (239) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6209.90.30.10, specifically covers sunsuits, washsuits, and similar apparel for infants and children, crafted from textile materials other than cotton or synthetic fibers, and specifically from artificial fibers. This designation focuses on garments designed for comfort and protection, often featuring a one-piece construction or matching separates intended for casual wear, bathing, or napping. The key defining characteristic is the material composition, which must be artificial fibers, distinguishing these items from those made from natural fibers or other manufactured materials.

Within the "Of artificial fibers" branch of babies' apparel, this category distinguishes itself from sibling classifications. For instance, 6209.90.30.15 pertains specifically to "blanket sleepers," which are typically more insulated garments designed for warmth, while 6209.90.30.20 refers to "sets," implying coordinated multiple-piece outfits that are not necessarily sunsuits or washsuits in their specific design intent. Therefore, 6209.90.30.10 captures those garments that fit the description of sunsuits, washsuits, or very similar one-piece or closely related apparel where the primary material is artificial fiber.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6209.90.30.10 hinges on the garment's intended use (sunsuit, washsuit, or similar for infants), its construction, and crucially, its composition of artificial fibers, differentiating it from broader categories of babies' clothing or items made from different textile materials.
