6214.90.00 - Of other textile materials

This HTS category, 6214.90, encompasses shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and similar articles made from textile materials *not* specified in preceding subheadings of 6214. This "of other textile materials" designation signifies that if the primary textile material is silk, wool, fine animal hair, synthetic fibers, or artificial fibers, those specific categories (6214.10 through 6214.40) would take precedence. Therefore, 6214.90 serves as a residual category for articles of this type when their constituent material does not fall under those more specific classifications.

To effectively classify within this heading, the key differentiator is the material composition. While the preceding sibling categories clearly define articles by silk, wool, synthetic, or artificial fibers, 6214.90 is for all other textile materials. This includes, but is not limited to, articles made predominantly from cotton or other vegetable fibers, as well as blends where no single component material dictates classification under a more specific heading.

Within the 6214.90 category, further distinctions are made to refine classification. The subcategory 6214.90.00.10 is specifically designated for articles made of cotton. The residual subcategory, 6214.90.00.90, covers all remaining articles of shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and the like that are made from textile materials not covered by the preceding subheadings of 6214.10 through 6214.40, nor by the specific cotton designation. This structure ensures that all relevant items within the broader scope of "shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like" are precisely classified based on their material composition.
