6211.12.10 - Of man-made fibers

This HTS category, 6211.12.10, specifically classifies swimwear manufactured from man-made fibers. It encompasses a range of garments designed for aquatic activities, such as swimsuits, bikinis, tankinis, and trunks, where the primary textile component is synthetic or artificial. This code is nested under women's or girls' swimwear, indicating a focus on garments intended for female wearers.

Within the broader category of "Women's or girls': swimwear," this code, "Of man-made fibers," serves to differentiate based on material composition from sibling categories. For instance, it excludes swimwear primarily composed of silk or silk waste (6211.12.40.00). The focus here is strictly on synthetic and artificial fiber content as the defining characteristic for classification.

Further refinement of this classification occurs at the next level, which distinguishes between "Women's" (6211.12.10.10) and "Girls'" (6211.12.10.20) swimwear. This subdivision allows for specific classification based on the intended age group and size range of the garment, providing a more precise identification for import and export purposes within the realm of man-made fiber swimwear.
