6203.41 - Of wool or fine animal hair:
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 6203.41, specifically covers trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts for men or boys that are predominantly made of wool or fine animal hair. This includes garments such as woolen dress trousers, tweed blazers that function as suit-type jackets (when classified as part of an ensemble), and shorts or breeches constructed from materials like cashmere, merino wool, or mohair. The key determinant for classification under this heading is the presence of wool or fine animal hair as the primary textile material.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 6203.42 covers similar garments made of cotton, while 6203.43 pertains to those made of synthetic fibers. Category 6203.49 is reserved for garments of this type made from other textile materials not otherwise specified. Therefore, the material composition is the primary differentiator at this level, with 6203.41 being exclusively for wool or fine animal hair content.
Within this category, further sub-classification may occur depending on the specific type and intended use of the garment. While the primary distinction is material, subdivisions may exist to differentiate between "Recreational performance outerwear" and "Other" garments. This acknowledges that within the realm of wool or fine animal hair trousers and shorts, there can be specialized designs for athletic or outdoor activities that warrant separate consideration from general-purpose or formal wear.
