6103.43.15 - Other

This HTS classification, 6103.43.15, encompasses "Other" trousers, breeches, and shorts for men or boys, knitted or crocheted, and primarily composed of synthetic fibers. This specific category acts as a residual for items that fall under the broader "Trousers, breeches and shorts: Of synthetic fibers" heading but do not meet the specific criteria of other subheadings at this level. It is crucial to note that this classification is distinct from 6103.43.10, which specifically covers garments containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, indicating a material composition difference as the primary distinguishing factor.

The scope of 6103.43.15 is to capture those knitted or crocheted trousers, breeches, and shorts made predominantly of synthetic fibers that do not contain a significant proportion of wool or fine animal hair, and which are not otherwise specifically classified elsewhere within Chapter 61. This often includes garments made from polyester, nylon, acrylic, or other man-made continuous filament or staple fibers. The items are intended for general wear, excluding specialized types like swimwear.

The subcategories within this level further refine the classification based on the garment's cut and intended use. "Trousers and breeches" will cover longer leg garments, while "Shorts" will address garments with shorter leg lengths. This distinction is critical for accurate inventory management and customs declaration, ensuring that the specific type of legwear is correctly identified for import or export purposes.
