Overview
This HTS classification covers trousers, breeches, and shorts specifically designed for men and boys, falling within the broader category of ensembles made from synthetic fibers. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that these garments must contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, indicating a blend where these natural fibers are a significant component alongside synthetic materials. The classification hinges on the composition and intended use of the garment as part of a coordinated outfit or as a standalone item of men's or boys' lower body wear.
It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its siblings. While all are within the scope of men's or boys' ensembles and related garments made of synthetic fibers, this category is strictly for trousers, breeches, and shorts. Siblings like 6203.23.00.10 refer to garments classified under heading 6201 (generally outer garments), and 6203.23.00.15 pertains to jackets and blazers under heading 6203. Other sibling categories cover shirts or a general "other" classification, highlighting the specific focus on lower-body garments within this particular code.
As this classification (6203.23.00.20) represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions at this level rely on accurately meeting the criteria of being trousers, breeches, or shorts, composed of synthetic fibers with a minimum 36% wool or fine animal hair content, and intended for men or boys. Examples of goods falling here would include wool-blend trousers for men intended to be worn as part of a suit ensemble, or wool-blend shorts for boys in a coordinated outfit.
