6103.29.05.30 - Trousers, breeches and shorts (447)

This HTS classification, 6103.29.05.30, specifically covers knitted or crocheted trousers, breeches, and shorts for men or boys, when they are part of an ensemble made from textile materials other than specific categories like wool or fine animal hair. The term "ensemble" in this context refers to a set of garments that are intended to be worn together. Therefore, the key differentiator for this code is that the trousers, breeches, or shorts must be sold or presented as part of a matched set, rather than as individual garments.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. For instance, sibling codes like 6103.29.05.10 and 6103.29.05.20 refer to other garments that might be part of a suit or ensemble, such as jackets or blazers, or garments described under heading 6101. Conversely, 6103.29.05.50 and 6103.29.05.60 cover knitted shirts and sweaters respectively, which are distinct apparel items. The "Other" category (6103.29.05.70) would encompass remaining items within the broader scope of ensembles not specifically enumerated.

As 6103.29.05.30 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. This means that once a garment is identified as a knitted or crocheted trouser, breeches, or shorts for men or boys, belonging to an ensemble made from "other textile materials," and not falling under more specific material definitions at this level, it will be classified under this code. The defining characteristics are the garment type (trousers, breeches, shorts), the intended wearer (men or boys), the construction method (knitted or crocheted), the presentation (as part of an ensemble), and the absence of classification under more specific material headings at this sub-heading level.
