6103.49.10.60 - Shorts (647) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6103.49.10.60, specifically designates knitted or crocheted shorts for men and boys. These shorts are distinct from trousers and breeches, which fall under the sibling category 6103.49.10.20. The primary differentiating factor lies in the garment's length and intended use; shorts are characterized by their significantly shorter cut compared to trousers and breeches.

The materials for this category are comprised of "other textile materials" within the broader group of artificial fibers, as established by the parent categories. This implies that these shorts are not made from cotton, wool, or fine animal hair, but rather from man-made fibers like polyester, nylon, rayon, or acrylic. The "Other" designation at this level further refines the classification for shorts made of these artificial fibers, distinguishing them from any other potential subdivisions within this specific material type.

As a leaf node in the HTS database, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, it directly captures the entirety of knitted or crocheted shorts for men and boys made from artificial fibers that are not classified elsewhere. When classifying an item under this code, importers and exporters should verify that the garment is indeed a knitted or crocheted short for men or boys and that its primary textile material is an artificial fiber.
