Description

Overview

This HTS category, 6210, encompasses a specific group of finished garments that are not knitted or crocheted, but are instead constructed from certain nonwovens or other textile fabrics. The key defining materials are those falling under HTS headings 5602 (man-made fibers, felt, not knitted or crocheted), 5603 (nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated), 5903 (textile fabrics bonded with plastics), 5906 (rubberized textile fabrics), or 5907 (textile fabrics otherwise coated or covered; painted canvas for theatre or like purposes). This focus on the fabric composition is crucial for distinguishing these garments from other apparel items.

While other categories within Chapter 62 cover a vast array of apparel, HTS 6210 is distinct due to its reliance on the specific types of fabrics enumerated. For example, garments made from woven or knitted fabrics, even if they share similar end uses, would be classified elsewhere in Chapter 62, depending on their fabric type and construction. The common thread uniting all goods under 6210 is their manufacture from the enumerated nonwoven, bonded, coated, or rubberized textile materials, rather than more conventional textile weaves or knits.

This category is further broken down to differentiate garments based on their fabric source and type. The subcategories (6210.10, 6210.20, 6210.30, 6210.40, and 6210.50) provide a hierarchical structure to classify these specific apparel types, allowing for more granular tariff treatment. These subdivisions direct classifiers to consider whether the garments are made from fabrics of headings 5602 or 5603, or if they are other garments that resemble the types found in headings 6201 (men's or boys' overcoats, etc.) or 6202 (women's or girls' overcoats, etc.), and finally, to distinguish between men's/boys' and women's/girls' apparel for the remaining items.
