6103.29.10.20 - Trousers and breeches (647)

This HTS classification, 6103.29.10.20, specifically designates trousers and breeches that are knitted or crocheted, falling under the broader category of men's or boys' ensembles made from other textile materials of artificial fibers. These garments are distinct from other items within heading 6103.29.10 by their specific function and form as lower body coverings, excluding items like shorts, sweaters, or shirts which are categorized under separate subheadings.

The definition of "trousers" generally refers to garments that cover the legs from the waist to the ankles, while "breeches" are typically shorter trousers that end at or below the knee. Both must be knitted or crocheted and be constructed from artificial fibers to fall within this specific code. It is crucial to distinguish these from swimwear or items that might be part of a suit ensemble falling under a different HTS code, even if made of similar materials.

As a leaf node, this classification represents a specific end-point in the tariff schedule for these particular garments. Therefore, classification relies heavily on the precise description and intended use of the garment. Importers and exporters should ensure that the physical characteristics and manufacturing method (knitted or crocheted) of the trousers or breeches align with the established definitions and the artificial fiber content of the textile.
