6104.69.80.22 - Subject to cotton restraints (348)

This classification encompasses trousers, breeches, and shorts for women or girls, knitted or crocheted, that are not specifically covered by categories designated for cotton, wool, or man-made fiber restraints. The key differentiator for this subcategory lies in the absence of specific textile material restraints that apply to other similar garments. Therefore, goods falling under this heading are those trousers, breeches, and shorts made from other textile materials not subject to these particular quantitative limitations.

The distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate tariff application. Category 6104.69.80.22 specifically excludes garments subject to cotton restraints (348), wool restraints (448), and man-made fiber restraints (648). Importers must carefully determine the fiber content and any applicable restraint conditions to correctly classify their merchandise and avoid potential penalties. This category acts as a residual classification for knitted or crocheted trousers, breeches, and shorts that do not meet the criteria for the other specifically restrained categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level requires a definitive assessment of the garment's construction, its intended use, and importantly, whether it falls under any specific trade agreements or quantitative restrictions related to its textile material. This ensures that all knitted or crocheted trousers, breeches, and shorts for women or girls are accounted for, with specific provisions for those subject to particular fiber restraints and a residual category for all others.
