Overview
This HTS classification pertains to women's blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses that are woven and exclusively made from silk. These garments are specifically designated for women and fall under the broader category of woven shirts, T-shirts, blouses, and shirt-blouses for women or girls. The crucial defining factors for this classification are the material (100% silk) and the construction method (woven).
While this category is part of the broader Section XXII, which deals with temporary and special provisions, its primary function is to provide a specific tariff treatment for these particular silk garments. It distinguishes itself from other potential classifications for women's tops by its stringent material requirement. For instance, if a garment were made from a silk blend or a different woven fabric, it would fall under a different HTS code. Similarly, knit tops, even if made of silk, would be classified elsewhere.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories that divide this specific classification. This means that any woven women's blouse, shirt, or shirt-blouse made wholly of silk, and not subject to specific temporary modifications or restrictions, will be classified directly under 9902.13.64, provided for in subheading 6206.10.00. The classification of these items hinges entirely on their fabric composition and intended use for women.
