6217.90.90.25 - Of cotton (335)

This HTS category, 6217.90.90.25, specifically classifies parts of garments or clothing accessories that are "other" than those of heading 6212, are "other" than parts of coats and jackets, and are predominantly made of cotton. This includes a wide array of components such as pocket linings, interlinings, sleeve heads, shoulder pads, collars, cuffs, and decorative elements when they are not integral to a knitted or crocheted garment and are not specified elsewhere. The key defining characteristic for classification under this subheading is the material composition – cotton.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Subheading 6217.90.90.30 pertains to similar parts made of wool or fine animal hair, while 6217.90.90.35 covers those constructed from man-made fibers. The residual category, 6217.90.90.45, is reserved for parts made from other textile materials not covered by the preceding subheadings. Therefore, the decision hinges on the primary textile fiber content of the part itself.

As a leaf node, 6217.90.90.25 does not have further subdivisions. Classification under this specific subheading is final once the item is identified as a non-knitted or non-crocheted garment part or accessory, not of heading 6212, not a part of coats and jackets, and confirmed to be primarily composed of cotton. Examples could include cotton pocket facings, cotton interlining for collars of non-knitted shirts, or cotton decorative trim intended for use on non-knitted outerwear.
