HS Code for Clothing accessories

HS code 6217.10 is a residual classification for clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted and are not specifically mentioned in other headings of Chapter 62. Chapter 62 covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are woven or made from textile fabrics other than those of heading 60.01 to 60.06. Heading 6217 acts as a "catch-all" for items like belts, bandannas, and certain types of ties or pockets that do not fit into more specific categories. The classification depends heavily on the material construction (woven vs. knitted) and the intended use as an accessory to a garment rather than a primary garment itself. Under the General Rules of Interpretation, if an accessory is presented with a garment and constitutes a set for retail sale, it might be classified with the garment; however, when shipped individually, 6217.10 is the standard. This code is essential for the global textile trade as it covers a vast array of small textile items that complete an outfit. It is important to note that this code excludes accessories made of leather (Chapter 42) or fur (Chapter 43), focusing strictly on textile-based accessories.

Common Misclassification

A common error is using HS code 6117.10, which is for knitted or crocheted accessories. Another frequent mistake involves 6212.10, which is specific to brassieres. If the accessory is made of leather, it must be classified under 4203.30 rather than 6217.10.
