6211.49.50 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This HTS category, 6211.49.50, specifically classifies women's or girls' garments that are not knitted or crocheted and are composed of 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. These garments fall under the broader scope of "Other garments, women's or girls'" and are distinguished from other textile materials by their predominant silk content.

Within the "Other garments, women's or girls'" classification (6211.49), this subcategory is distinct from those composed of wool or fine animal hair (6211.49.60) and other unspecified textile materials (6211.49.80). The key determinant for classification here is the high silk content, differentiating it from garments made primarily of other natural or synthetic fibers.

The subcategories further refine the classification of these silk garments based on their specific type. This includes distinct classifications for coveralls and jumpsuits, washsuits and playsuits, blouses and shirt-blouses, jumpers, vests, and jackets. The remaining items that do not fit into these specific types are classified under "Other." This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification and duty assessment based on the garment's style and intended use.
