6104.29.20.47 - Shorts (847)

This HTS category, HTS Code 6104.29.20.47, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted shorts for women or girls, when such shorts are not considered swimwear. These items are distinguished by their design and intended use as separate garments rather than integral parts of a larger ensemble or suit. The material composition, as per the preceding levels of classification, is also a determining factor, indicating they are made from textile materials other than those explicitly specified in higher hierarchical branches.

Unlike the sibling category 6104.29.20.45, which covers trousers and breeches, this classification is exclusively for shorts. The defining characteristic of shorts is their length, typically extending no lower than the thigh. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification, ensuring that garments with longer leg coverings are directed to the appropriate tariff heading.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies heavily on the precise physical attributes of the garment, particularly its length, and its composition from "other textile materials" as defined by the preceding classification levels. Examples include knitted or crocheted sports shorts, casual shorts, or dress shorts that do not fall under specific swimwear provisions.
