6217.90.90.45 - Other (835)

This category, HTS 6217.90.90.45, encompasses a residual grouping of "Other" parts for garments and clothing accessories, specifically excluding those classified under heading 6212. It serves as a catch-all for parts of coats and jackets that are not specifically delineated by material in the preceding sibling categories. This includes components such as interlinings, facings, or decorative elements made from materials not otherwise specified within this sub-heading's sibling options, provided they are not the primary fabric of the coat or jacket itself.

Unlike its siblings, which are explicitly categorized by material composition – 6217.90.90.25 for cotton, 6217.90.90.30 for wool or fine animal hair, and 6217.90.90.35 for man-made fibers – this category applies to parts where the material is not cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or a man-made fiber, or where the classification based on material is ambiguous or otherwise not applicable within the prior distinctions. For instance, if a coat lining is made from a blend where no single fiber predominates to the extent of dictating classification under a material-specific sibling, or if it's made from a less common natural fiber like silk or linen not specifically listed elsewhere in this section, it would likely fall here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within HTS 6217.90.90.45. Classification at this level is determined by the exclusion of the specific material types found in its sibling categories. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the dominant fiber content or the material of the part in question to accurately differentiate it from the more specific classifications. If a part does not clearly fit into the cotton, wool/fine animal hair, or man-made fiber categories, and it pertains to a coat or jacket as a component part, then this "Other" classification becomes the appropriate designation.
