6211.12.80.10 - Women's (359) 🖩

This HTS classification covers women's swimwear that is not specifically defined by other subcategories within Chapter 62. The defining characteristic of this category is its intended use as swimwear, meaning garments designed for swimming or water-related activities. Examples include bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, tankinis, and swim trunks specifically for women, provided they are not knitted or crocheted and are not ski-suits or track suits.

The distinction between this category (6211.12.80.10) and its sibling category (6211.12.80.20) lies solely in the gender of the intended wearer. While both fall under "Women's or girls': Other" swimwear of cotton, this specific code is for "Women's" apparel, whereas the sibling code is for "Girls'" apparel. The physical characteristics and intended use remain consistent across both sibling categories, with the gender designation being the sole differentiator at this granular level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories branching from this code. Therefore, the classification decision rests on accurately identifying the garment as women's swimwear made of cotton, not knitted or crocheted, and ensuring it does not fit into more specific swimwear categories that might exist at higher levels of the tariff schedule.
