6117.90.90.60 - Of cotton (348)

This classification, HTS Code 6117.90.90.60, pertains to knitted or crocheted parts specifically for trousers, breeches, and shorts, when those parts are predominantly made of cotton. It encompasses components such as waistbands, pockets, decorative inserts, or other structural elements designed to be incorporated into these specific types of lower-body garments. The "of cotton" designation is critical, requiring that the primary textile material by weight be cotton.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its precise material composition. HTS 6117.90.90.65 specifically covers similar parts made from wool or fine animal hair, while HTS 6117.90.90.70 applies to parts manufactured from man-made fibers. HTS 6117.90.90.75 serves as a residual category for parts of trousers, breeches, and shorts made from other textile materials not otherwise specified. Therefore, the defining characteristic for classification here is the exclusive presence of cotton as the principal fiber.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive based on the material (cotton) and the specific garment type (parts of trousers, breeches, and shorts). Practical considerations for classification include verifying the fiber content through testing or declarations, and ensuring the part's intended use aligns with trousers, breeches, or shorts.
