6104.69.80 - Other

This HTS category, 6104.69.80, encompasses knitted or crocheted trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts for women or girls that are fabricated from textile materials not specified in preceding subheadings. The term "Other" signifies that this category serves as a residual grouping for items that do not meet the criteria for more specific material compositions, such as those predominantly of artificial fibers or those containing a significant percentage of silk.

To differentiate from its sibling category, 6104.69.40, which specifically covers garments containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, this classification applies to trousers, overalls, breeches, and shorts made from a blend of materials where silk is not the dominant fiber, or from entirely different non-specified textile fibers. The focus here is on the material composition and the absence of a predominant silk content.

Within this residual category, further subclassification is necessary to distinguish between different types of garments. The subcategories include "Bib and brace overalls," which are characterized by shoulder straps and a bib front, and "Trousers, breeches and shorts," encompassing the remaining types of legwear that fall under this broad classification. This division ensures that similar types of garments are grouped together for consistent tariff application.
