6214.10.20.00 - Other (859)

This HTS classification, 6214.10.20.00, covers "Other" shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and similar articles, specifically those not meeting the composition requirements of its sibling category. The primary characteristic for inclusion here is that these articles are made of silk or silk waste, but they do not contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification, ensuring that articles with a lower silk content are appropriately categorized.

Unlike the sibling category 6214.10.10.00, which specifically enumerates items with a high silk content (70% or more by weight), this node captures the remaining silk or silk waste accessories that fall under the broader heading of 6214.10. Thus, any item in this group is essentially a silk accessory that is not *predominantly* silk by weight. Examples could include blended fabrics where silk is present but does not form the majority of the material.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification under 6214.10.20.00 is final, based on the material composition and the exclusion from the higher silk-content designation. Therefore, for customs purposes, the key is to verify that the article is a shawl, scarf, or similar accessory made from silk or silk waste, and that its silk content by weight is less than 70 percent.
