6213.90.10.00 - Of man-made fibers (630)

This HTS classification covers handkerchiefs crafted from man-made fibers. These are typically items used for personal hygiene or as decorative accessories, specifically those not knitted or crocheted. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this category is the primary textile material from which the handkerchief is manufactured, which in this instance, must be synthetic or artificial.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Of silk or silk waste," is crucial. While both fall under the broader heading of handkerchiefs, the material composition is the sole differentiator. Handkerchiefs made from silk or materials derived from silk would be classified under the sibling category, whereas this 6213.90.10.00 code applies exclusively to those made from fibers like polyester, nylon, rayon, or acrylic. The sibling category "Other" would encompass handkerchiefs made from any other textile materials not specifically enumerated, such as cotton or linen.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to detail. The classification is definitive at this level, based solely on the material being man-made fibers. Examples of goods falling here include polyester pocket squares, rayon facial tissues (if presented as handkerchiefs), and nylon decorative handkerchiefs. The key for correct classification lies in accurately identifying the fiber content of the textile article.
