Overview

This HTS category, 6214.40.00.00, specifically classifies shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and similar items that are exclusively manufactured from artificial fibers. Artificial fibers, in this context, refer to fibers derived from regenerated cellulose or synthetic polymers, such as rayon, nylon, polyester, or acrylic. The key defining characteristic for this classification is the material composition of the textile.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike items classified under 6214.10, which are made of silk, or 6214.20.00.00, made of wool or fine animal hair, and 6214.90.00, made of other textile materials, this category is solely for artificial fibers. Furthermore, it differs from 6214.30.00.00, which covers synthetic fibers. While both artificial and synthetic fibers are man-made, the distinction in HTS classification hinges on the specific type of fiber used in the garment's construction.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for shawls, scarves, and similar articles made of artificial fibers. Therefore, classification under 6214.40.00.00 is definitive for these items once their material composition has been confirmed as artificial fibers, and they fall within the broader scope of Chapter 62 for non-knitted or crocheted apparel accessories.
