6104.61.00.10 - Trousers and breeches (448)

This HTS category, 6104.61.00.10, specifically covers knitted or crocheted trousers and breeches designed for women or girls, when made from wool or fine animal hair. These garments are characterized by their full-length leg coverage and are intended as outer apparel. The term "breeches" within this context generally refers to garments that extend to the knee or slightly below.

It is crucial to distinguish these trousers and breeches from their sibling categories. Category 6104.61.00.20 encompasses knitted or crocheted shorts for women or girls made of wool or fine animal hair. Shorts are distinguished by their shorter length, typically extending no further than the thigh. Similarly, category 6104.61.00.30 covers knitted or crocheted bib and brace overalls made from the same materials. Overalls are characterized by their full body coverage, including a bib front and shoulder straps, and are distinct from the trousers covered here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 6104.61.00.10. Therefore, classification at this level hinges on the precise identification of the garment as trousers or breeches, the intended gender (women's or girls'), the knitted or crocheted construction, and the primary material composition of wool or fine animal hair. Specific attention should be paid to the cut and length to differentiate from shorts, and the overall construction to distinguish from bib and brace overalls.
