Overview
This HTS subheading, 6203.41.25, specifically classifies men's and boys' trousers and breeches that meet a precise set of criteria. These garments are characterized by the inclusion of elastomeric fiber, contributing to stretch and comfort, and are treated to be water-resistant. Crucially, they are distinguished by the absence of belt loops and a specific weight requirement, necessitating that they weigh more than 9 kilograms per dozen when manufactured. This level of detail ensures that garments with these particular physical attributes and functional treatments are correctly identified for customs purposes.
Within the broader classification of "Trousers, breeches and shorts" of wool or fine animal hair, this category occupies a specific niche defined by its technical specifications. Unlike other subcategories at this level that might differ in material composition, treatment, or construction details (e.g., presence or absence of specific features like pockets, closures, or specific fabric finishes), this code is reserved for those that are demonstrably water-resistant, lack belt loops, and adhere to the defined weight per dozen. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that it covers garments not explicitly defined in preceding subheadings within the 6203.41 series.
The subcategories under 6203.41.25 further refine the classification based on the intended wearer. The existence of distinct classifications for "Men's" and "Boys'" garments recognizes the variations in sizing and potentially cut or styling conventions associated with these demographics. This subdivision allows for more precise statistical tracking and ensures that duties and regulations are applied appropriately based on the target consumer for these water-resistant, elastomeric fiber-containing trousers and breeches.
