6103.42.10.65 - Imported as parts of play suits (237)

This HTS category, 6103.42.10.65, specifically classifies boys' shorts that are knitted or crocheted and made of cotton. These shorts are intended for boys and are distinct from other articles of apparel within the broader heading 6103, such as suits, jackets, or trousers. The defining characteristics for classification here are the garment type (shorts), the intended wearer (boys), the construction method (knitted or crocheted), and the primary textile material (cotton).

Distinguishing this subcategory from its sibling, 6103.42.10.70 "Other," is crucial. The "Other" category would encompass boys' knitted or crocheted cotton shorts that do not meet the specific criteria for classification under 6103.42.10.65. This often implies that the "Other" category serves as a residual for items that may be similar but have a particular feature, construction, or intended use that prevents them from being precisely classified under the more specific code, such as specific types of embellishments or a blend of cotton with a significant percentage of another fiber.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6103.42.10.65 is therefore definitive for boys' cotton shorts that are knitted or crocheted. Examples of items that would fall into this category include casual shorts, athletic shorts, or dress shorts made from cotton knit fabrics, provided they are sized and styled for boys and meet the general requirements of heading 6103.
