6203.19.10 - Of cotton

This HTS category, 6203.19.10, specifically covers men's or boys' suits that are predominantly constructed of cotton. This includes complete suits, as well as ensembles where multiple garments are designed to be worn together as a suit. The "suits" designation implies coordinated garments, typically a jacket and trousers or shorts, manufactured from the same fabric.

It's crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While the parent category 6203.19 encompasses suits of "other textile materials," this subcategory narrows the focus exclusively to cotton. Therefore, suits made from artificial fibers or those primarily composed of silk or silk waste would fall under different sibling categories, such as 6203.19.00.10 (Of artificial fibers) or 6203.19.50.00 (Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste).

Within this cotton-based suit classification, further subdivisions exist to account for the individual components when imported as parts of a suit. Subcategories 6203.19.10.10, 6203.19.10.20, and 6203.19.10.30 differentiate between jackets, trousers/breeches/shorts, and waistcoats, respectively, when these items are intended to be part of a harmonized suit set. This granular breakdown allows for precise tariff application based on the specific garment type being imported within the cotton suit context.
