6217.10.10.90 - Other (759)

This category, HTS 6217.10.10.90, encompasses "Other" made-up clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted, and which contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. These are items that function as accessories to garments, or parts of garments and clothing accessories, but do not fit into more specific classifications within heading 6217. The key defining characteristic is their material composition, requiring a substantial silk content.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6217.10.10.10, is crucial. The sibling category specifically enumerates headbands, ponytail holders, and similar articles. Therefore, if an accessory is made primarily of silk and serves a decorative or functional purpose for hair, it would likely fall under 6217.10.10.10. In contrast, HTS 6217.10.10.90 is a residual category for other silk-rich clothing accessories, such as decorative sashes, belts, or even elaborate fabric embellishments that are not specifically described elsewhere.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 6217.10.10.90 is therefore determined by excluding items classified under the more specific sibling, and confirming that the article is indeed a made-up clothing accessory or part thereof, with the requisite high silk content, and not knitted or crocheted. The scope is broad, capturing a variety of silk-based accessories not otherwise detailed.
