6212.90.00.10 - Of cotton or cotton and rubber or plastics (359)

This HTS category, 6212.90.00.10, specifically covers "other" brassieres, girdles, corsets, braces, suspenders, garters, and similar articles and their parts, which are not knitted or crocheted, and are predominantly made of cotton or a combination of cotton and rubber or plastics. This designation encompasses a broad range of supportive undergarments and accessories that do not fall into more specific material categories within heading 6212.

The key differentiator for this classification lies in its material composition. Unlike sibling categories such as 6212.90.00.20 (wool or wool blends), 6212.90.00.30 (man-made fibers), or 6212.90.00.50 (silk), this category is exclusively for goods where cotton is the primary textile component, either alone or combined with rubber or plastics. The "Other" designation at this level is therefore driven by the specific textile material, reflecting the Harmonized System's emphasis on material composition for classifying apparel and textile articles.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 6212.90.00.10 is determined by the explicit exclusion from other material-specific subheadings under heading 6212 and the confirmation that the article is composed of cotton or cotton with rubber or plastics, and is not knitted or crocheted. Examples could include cotton-based suspenders, cotton girdles with elasticized plastic components, or cotton camisoles with built-in support.
