6103.49.10.10 - Containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (447) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6103.49.10.10, pertains to knitted or crocheted trousers, breeches, and shorts for men or boys that are specifically made from artificial fibers and contain 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This distinction is critical for accurate import and export declarations. The "of artificial fibers" designation requires that the primary textile component of the garment, by weight, must be artificial.

The sibling category, ". Other:", at this level would encompass trousers, breeches, and shorts of other textile materials not classified under artificial fibers, such as those made primarily from natural fibers (excluding wool or fine animal hair beyond the specified threshold) or other synthetic materials. Therefore, the defining characteristic here is the explicit material composition, particularly the presence of artificial fibers as the base material, coupled with a significant wool or fine animal hair content.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the precise combination of garment type (trousers, breeches, or shorts), the target demographic (men or boys), the manufacturing method (knitted or crocheted), the primary textile material (artificial fibers), and the specific percentage of wool or fine animal hair present. Importers and exporters must ensure all these criteria are met for accurate classification.
