6212.10.90.10 - Of cotton (349)

This HTS classification covers brassieres specifically manufactured from cotton fibers. It falls under the broader category of non-knitted or non-crocheted articles of apparel and clothing accessories, and more specifically, under brassieres, girdles, corsets, and similar articles. The key defining characteristic for this code is the primary textile material being cotton, which dictates its import and export duty treatment.

This category is distinct from its siblings by the specific material composition. Unlike HTS code 6212.10.90.20, which classifies brassieres made of man-made fibers (such as polyester, nylon, or rayon), and HTS code 6212.10.90.40, which covers brassieres made from other materials not specified as cotton or man-made fibers, this code is exclusively for cotton constructions. Therefore, the textile content is the primary differentiating factor for classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. This means that any brassiere primarily composed of cotton, falling under the description "Other" brassieres not further specified by knit/crochet or specific material exclusions, will be classified here. Examples of such items would include cotton bandeaus, traditional cotton bras, and cotton bralettes that do not contain significant proportions of other fibers or belong to knitted/crocheted classifications.
