6209.90.90.00 - Other (839)

This HTS category, 6209.90.90.00, encompasses babies' garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, which are not specifically classified under headings for wool, fine animal hair, or artificial fibers. It serves as a residual category for items made from other textile materials, such as cotton, linen, or blends not meeting the 70% silk threshold, when these are intended for infants and children up to two years of age. The key defining characteristic is the intended recipient, with the garments and accessories being designed in sizes appropriate for babies.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 6209.90.05.00 specifically covers garments of wool or fine animal hair, and certain artificial fiber categories exist (though not fully detailed as siblings in this excerpt), 6209.90.90.00 is for all other textile materials. Furthermore, the sibling category 6209.90.50.00 is reserved for silk or silk waste content exceeding 70% by weight. Therefore, this "Other" category is where items made from common materials like cotton, ramie, hemp, or various blends of natural and synthetic fibers will fall, provided they are not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code relies on determining that the item is a baby's garment or accessory, is not knitted or crocheted, and its textile material composition does not align with the more specific classifications available at this level of detail. Examples include cotton onesies, linen rompers, or small knitted caps made from blends not primarily featuring wool or silk, all intended for infants.
