6217.90.90 - Other

This category, HTS 6217.90.90, encompasses "Other" parts for garments and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. It serves as a residual category for components that do not fit into more specific part classifications within Chapter 62, such as collars, cuffs, or pockets that might have their own dedicated subheadings. The key is that these are distinct components intended for assembly into finished articles of apparel or clothing accessories covered by Chapter 62.

Unlike the sibling category 6217.90.10, which is specifically for parts containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, this subheading covers parts made from any other textile material or a blend of materials not meeting that silk threshold. Therefore, the material composition is a primary differentiator. If a part for a non-knitted garment or accessory is not predominantly silk, it will likely fall under this residual "Other" classification.

Within this category, further distinctions are made based on the type of garment the part is intended for. Subcategories exist for parts of blouses and shirts, coats and jackets, and trousers and breeches, indicating that the end-use garment type influences the classification. An "Other" subcategory exists to capture remaining parts that do not fall into these specific garment types. This hierarchical structure allows for precise classification based on both material and intended application.
