6217.10.85.00 - Headbands, ponytail holders and similar articles 🖩

This category, HTS code 6217.10.85.00, specifically classifies headbands, ponytail holders, and other similar articles that are considered made-up clothing accessories but are not knitted or crocheted. These items are typically constructed from textile materials and designed for personal adornment or to manage hair. Examples include fabric headbands, elastic hair ties with fabric coverings, scrunchies, and hair clips adorned with textile elements.

The primary distinction of this subcategory from its sibling, 6217.10.95 ("Other"), lies in the specific inclusion of "headbands, ponytail holders and similar articles." While the "Other" category would encompass a broader range of made-up clothing accessories not explicitly defined elsewhere within heading 6217, this specific code isolates these common hair accessories for clearer classification. The focus here is on articles whose primary function and design are centered around hair management and decoration.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 6217.10.85.00 remains on identifying articles that fit the description of headbands, ponytail holders, and conceptually similar hair accessories made from textile materials, excluding those that are knitted or crocheted. The material composition and intended use are key determinants for classification within this specific HTS code.
