6104.69.20.30 - Trousers and breeches (648) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6104.69.20.30, specifically covers knitted or crocheted trousers and breeches for women or girls, made from textile materials other than cotton or synthetic fibers. This category encompasses garments designed to cover the lower part of the body, extending from the waist to the ankles, or to just below the knee in the case of breeches. The key defining characteristic is their construction from knitted or crocheted fabrics, and crucially, their composition from textile materials that are not synthetic fibers.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6104.69.20.60, which covers knitted or crocheted shorts for women or girls made from similar "other textile materials." While both fall under the broader heading of "Trousers, breeches and shorts" and "Of other textile materials," the defining difference lies in the length and coverage of the garment. Trousers and breeches extend further down the leg compared to shorts.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies heavily on the precise definition of "trousers" and "breeches" as distinct from "shorts," and the determination that the textile material used is neither cotton nor a synthetic fiber. Examples of materials that would fall into this "other textile materials" category could include certain regenerated cellulosic fibers (like rayon or viscose, when not classified as synthetic), or natural fibers such as wool or silk, provided they are knitted or crocheted and intended for women's or girls' wear.
