6217.90.90.03 - Of cotton (341)

This HTS classification, 6217.90.90.03, specifically covers parts of blouses and shirts that are made of cotton. These are typically components used in the manufacture or repair of woven or non-knitted blouses and shirts. Examples include collars, cuffs, yokes, pocket flaps, and facings, provided they are composed entirely or predominantly of cotton and are not knitted or crocheted. The "Of cotton" designation is critical for distinguishing this category from other part classifications.

This subcategory is differentiated from its siblings based on the primary textile material. Unlike 6217.90.90.05, which classifies parts made from wool or fine animal hair, or 6217.90.90.10, which covers parts made from man-made fibers, this category is exclusively for cotton components. The final sibling, 6217.90.90.20, serves as a residual category for parts of blouses and shirts not covered by cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 6217.90.90.03 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, accurate classification relies on confirming the item's function as a part of a blouse or shirt, its non-knitted or non-crocheted construction, and its composition being primarily of cotton. Careful examination of the material content is paramount for correct tariff application.
