Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.13.69, pertains to women's shawls, scarves, and similar articles specifically manufactured entirely from silk. These items are typically designed for personal adornment and are characterized by their fabric composition and intended use. The "provided for in subheading 6214.10.10" notation indicates that these goods are further defined and controlled under the general chapter for apparel and clothing accessories, specifically within the silk category of shawls and scarves.
Within the broader HTS structure, categories at this level often denote specific types of goods, such as live animals (Chapters 01-05) or various manufactured products. This particular classification is unique as it falls under Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation and special provisions, indicating that these goods may be subject to specific trade agreements, modifications, or temporary import restrictions. Unlike sibling categories that might cover broader textile categories or other classes of merchandise, 9902.13.69 is highly specific to women's silk accessories.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9902.13.69 requires strict adherence to the material composition (wholly of silk) and the nature of the article (shawl, scarf, or similar). Importers must ensure that the goods meet these precise criteria to avoid misclassification and potential penalties. The presence of this code within Chapter 99 highlights the importance of checking current trade regulations and proclamations that may affect the import of these specific silk items.
