6103.41.10 - Trousers, breeches and shorts

This HTS category encompasses knitted or crocheted trousers, breeches, and shorts specifically designed for men or boys. It falls under the broader classification of men's or boys' suits and separates, distinguished by its focus on legwear and outerwear garments as opposed to full suits or jackets. The key distinguishing factor for classification within this section is that the items are indeed trousers, breeches, or shorts, and not bib and brace overalls, which are classified separately under sibling category 6103.41.20.

Within this classification, further distinction is made based on the specific type of legwear. Subcategory 6103.41.10.10 covers trousers and breeches, typically extending to the ankle or below, and intended as primary leg coverings. In contrast, subcategory 6103.41.10.20 is reserved for shorts, which are characterized by their shorter length, generally ending above the knee. This subdivision allows for precise classification based on the garment's intended coverage and style.
