6211.20.78.20 - Of man-made fibers (659)

This HTS classification covers women's or girls' ski-suits, specifically those not knitted or crocheted, and composed of man-made fibers. These garments are designed for cold-weather athletic activities, particularly skiing, and are intended to be worn as a set, typically comprising a jacket and trousers or bib-overalls. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this specific subcategory is the material composition, which must be derived from man-made fibers such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic.

Distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 6211.20.78.10 specifically covers women's or girls' ski-suits of cotton. Therefore, if the ski-suit is made primarily of cotton, it would fall under that sibling. Similarly, 6211.20.78.30 is a catch-all category for "Other" materials, meaning this code, 6211.20.78.20, exclusively applies when the dominant fiber content is man-made.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the type of garment (ski-suit), gender/age group (women's or girls'), construction method (not knitted or crocheted), and the primary fiber content (man-made fibers). Proper identification of the fabric composition is therefore the primary driver for assigning goods to this specific HTS code.
