April 2021 — Question 1

Why this answer

Heading 6212 covers brassieres, and subheading 6212.10 splits first on whether the garment contains lace, net, or embroidery, then on silk content. The keyed line, 6212.10.30.00, covers brassieres containing lace, net, or embroidery that are 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, so the invoiced article was a lace-trimmed, predominantly silk bra. Option C is the closest miss: 6212.10.70.00 covers the same high-silk brassieres but only those without lace, net, or embroidery, while option B falls in the lace-trimmed group for garments below the silk threshold. Options D and E fail at the subheading level, covering girdles and corselettes rather than brassieres. Watch for: Missing the lace-net-embroidery breakout or the 70 percent silk threshold within subheading 6212.10.
