Heading 6111

Babies' garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted

33 declarable lines

Heading 6111 covers babies' garments and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted, as opposed to woven. The heading is split first by fiber: cotton under 6111.20, synthetic fibers under 6111.30, and other textile materials under 6111.90. Within each fiber group the lines break out by garment type, such as blouses, T-shirts, sweaters, dresses, trousers, sets, and babies' socks and booties, with a residual other line at the end.
