6217.90.90.05 - Of wool or fine animal hair (440) 🖩

This HTS category, 6217.90.90.05, specifically covers parts of garments and clothing accessories, excluding those of heading 6212, that are made from wool or fine animal hair. This includes components like collars, cuffs, pockets, and facings intended for use in the manufacture of articles of apparel and clothing accessories, provided the primary material is wool or fine animal hair. The "(440)" designation likely refers to a statistical suffix relevant for trade reporting.

Distinguishing this subcategory from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While sibling categories like 6217.90.90.03 and 6217.90.90.10 cover similar garment parts made from cotton and man-made fibers respectively, this category is exclusively for parts composed of wool or fine animal hair. The sibling category 6217.90.90.20 "Other" is a residual category for parts not classified under the specific material types of the other siblings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6217.90.90.05 relies on the definitive presence of wool or fine animal hair as the constituent material of the garment part or accessory. Importers and exporters must ensure that the tariff applicable to their goods is determined by the precise composition of the item being classified.
