6212.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, 6212.90.00, encompasses "Other" articles of apparel and clothing accessories that fall under the broad scope of Section XI and Chapter 62, specifically those not knitted or crocheted. It serves as a residual category for garments designed to support, shape, or retain other garments or body parts, but which do not fit into the more specifically defined categories within heading 6212.

Unlike its sibling categories which clearly delineate brassieres (6212.10), girdles and panty-girdles (6212.20.00), and corsets (6212.30.00), this category captures items that share a similar functional purpose but lack the distinct structural or design characteristics of those specific garments. This might include items like suspenders, garters, and similar supporting garments that are not otherwise classified.

The subcategories within 6212.90.00 further refine classification based on the primary material content of these "other" supportive garments. This includes specific provisions for articles made of cotton or cotton and rubber or plastics (6212.90.00.10), wool or wool and rubber or plastics (6212.90.00.20), and man-made fibers or man-made fibers and rubber or plastics (6212.90.00.30). Additionally, there are specific distinctions for items predominantly composed of silk or silk waste (6212.90.00.50), and a final residual classification for any other articles not meeting these material specifications (6212.90.00.90).
