6217.90.90.60 - Of man-made fibers (648)

This HTS category, 6217.90.90.60, specifically encompasses parts of garments or clothing accessories that are made up, not knitted or crocheted, and are composed of man-made fibers. This designation is crucial for accurate import and export declarations, ensuring that duty rates are applied correctly based on material composition. The scope includes components such as pockets, collars, cuffs, or facings, provided they are not parts of specialized garments covered elsewhere (like those of heading 6212) and are not knitted or crocheted.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, the primary distinguishing factor is the material. While 6217.90.90.50 covers parts of man-made fibers, 6217.90.90.55 deals with parts made from wool or fine animal hair, and 6217.90.90.70 acts as a residual category for all other material compositions not otherwise specified. Therefore, the presence of man-made fibers is the definitive criterion for classification under 6217.90.90.60.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the precise identification of the "part" of the garment or accessory and its definitive construction from man-made fibers. This means that when classifying, one must confirm that the component is indeed a part intended for use with an outer garment or accessory, and that the predominant or entire material content is derived from synthetic or artificial fibers.
