6217.10.10 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This HTS category, 6217.10.10, specifically covers made-up clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted and contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This includes a variety of items designed to complement garments or serve as personal adornments, such as scarves, ties, cravats, and other fabric embellishments. The critical determining factor for classification within this subcategory is the high silk content, which distinguishes these accessories from those made of other textile materials.

Within the broader heading of "Other made up clothing accessories; parts of garments or of clothing accessories, other than those of heading 6212," this specific classification focuses on the finished accessories themselves. It differentiates from the "Other" sibling category (which would encompass made-up accessories not meeting the specific silk content requirement or falling outside the scope of this subcategory) by its precise material composition. The emphasis is on the material as the primary classification driver.

The subcategories, 6217.10.10.10 and 6217.10.10.90, provide further refinement based on the specific type of accessory. Heading 6217.10.10.10 is for headbands, ponytail holders, and similar articles, while 6217.10.10.90 covers all other silk-rich accessories not otherwise specified, allowing for a detailed and accurate classification of the diverse range of items that fall under this silk-focused provision.
