6104.63.15.20 - Shorts (448)

This HTS classification, 6104.63.15.20, specifically covers knitted or crocheted shorts designed for women or girls. These shorts are distinguished by their material composition: they must contain 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This requirement is a crucial determinant for classification within this specific sub-heading.

Unlike its sibling category, 6104.63.15.10, which encompasses trousers and breeches made of synthetic fibers and meeting the wool content criteria, this category is exclusively for shorts. The distinction lies in the garment's length and design, with shorts being a shorter, distinct style from trousers or breeches. Both categories fall under the broader heading for knitted or crocheted garments of synthetic fibers.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 6104.63.15.20 depends solely on the garment being identified as shorts, being for women or girls, being knitted or crocheted, being of synthetic fibers, and crucially, containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. Examples could include knitted wool blend shorts suitable for casual wear or active pursuits by women or girls.
