6103.29.20.48 - Shorts (847)

This HTS classification, 6103.29.20.48, specifically covers shorts, knitted or crocheted, that are not intended for swimwear. These shorts fall under the broader category of men's or boys' suits, ensembles, and separate garments. The "other textile materials" designation indicates that the primary textile components of these shorts are not exclusively cotton or synthetic fibers, but rather a blend or other specified textile materials not otherwise classified at this level.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 6103.29.20.44, which exclusively classifies trousers and breeches. While all fall under the umbrella of men's or boys' knitted or crocheted legwear, 6103.29.20.48 is specifically for items that are shorter in length than traditional trousers or breeches. The defining characteristic for classification here is the garment's length and style, distinguishing it from longer leg coverings.

As this is a terminal classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification of goods under 6103.29.20.48 is determined by their construction as knitted or crocheted articles of apparel, their intended use for men or boys, their classification as shorts (as opposed to trousers or breeches), and their composition of "other textile materials" not elsewhere specified within this chapter. This level of detail ensures accurate customs reporting for trade purposes.
