HS Code for Bow tie
Bow ties made from textile materials other than silk or man-made fibers are classified under HS code 6215.90. This classification is part of Chapter 62, which covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. The specific heading 6215 is dedicated to ties, bow ties, and cravats. The subheading 6215.90 acts as a residual category for materials like cotton, linen, or wool. To be classified here, the item must be a finished accessory intended for neckwear. The distinction between materials is the primary driver for classification within this heading, as silk and synthetic fibers have their own dedicated subheadings due to their different economic values and trade volumes. The construction must be woven; if the bow tie is knitted, it would fall under a different chapter entirely. This code ensures that natural fiber accessories are taxed and tracked appropriately in international trade.

Common Misclassification
The most frequent misclassification for bow ties involves the material composition. Silk bow ties must be classified under 6215.10, while those made of man-made fibers (like polyester or nylon) fall under 6215.20. Another common error is classifying knitted bow ties under 6215; however, knitted or crocheted accessories belong in Chapter 61, specifically under HS code 6117.80. Additionally, if a bow tie is part of a set (like a tuxedo suit), it might occasionally be misclassified with the garment, but as an accessory, it generally retains its own classification under 6215.
