6212.90.00.30 - Of man-made fibers or man-made fibers and rubber or plastics (659)

This HTS classification, 6212.90.00.30, specifically covers "other" articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted, that fall under Heading 6212. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the articles are predominantly constructed from man-made fibers, or a combination of man-made fibers with rubber or plastics. This includes items such as certain types of slips, petticoats, camisoles, or other undergarments not explicitly listed in other subcategories, provided their material composition meets the criteria of man-made fibers.

When classifying within Heading 6212, it is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings based on material composition. For instance, 6212.90.00.10 pertains to articles made of cotton or cotton blended with rubber or plastics, while 6212.90.00.20 is for those composed of wool or wool blended with rubber or plastics. Similarly, 6212.90.00.50 is reserved for articles containing a significant proportion of silk. Therefore, the operative classification criterion for 6212.90.00.30 is the presence of man-made fibers as the primary component.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions or subcategories beneath 6212.90.00.30. Classification decisions at this level will therefore rely on a thorough examination of the garment's material composition to ensure it consists of man-made fibers and is not knitted or crocheted, and that it does not fit into any more specific classification within Heading 6212.
