6103.49.80.10 - Subject to cotton restraints (347)

This HTS subcategory, 6103.49.80.10, specifically classifies men's or boys' trousers, breeches, and shorts that are knitted or crocheted, and are made of textile materials other than those subject to specific restraints for cotton, wool, or man-made fibers. This means the classification applies to garments falling under the broader description of trousers, breeches, and shorts within the knitted or crocheted category for men's and boys' apparel, but where the material composition does not trigger those particular trade restrictions.

The key distinction of this category lies in what it *excludes*. While sibling categories like 6103.49.80.12 and 6103.49.80.14 are defined by their restraint status for wool and man-made fibers respectively, and an implied "Other" sibling likely covers items not falling under specific restraints, this particular code, 6103.49.80.10, is explicitly designated as "Subject to cotton restraints (347)". This designation points to specific tariff rate quotas or other trade measures that may apply to cotton-based garments within this general product group. Therefore, importers must verify the origin and fiber content to ensure correct application of any applicable restraints.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive for trousers, breeches, and shorts that meet the criteria of being knitted or crocheted, made of other textile materials, and are specifically subject to cotton restraints as indicated by the associated control number (347). Examples of such items would include men's or boys' casual trousers, denim-style shorts, or athletic breeches crafted from knitted cotton or cotton blends that fall under the specified restraint regime.
