6203.41.25.10 - Men's (447)

This HTS category, 6203.41.25.10, specifically classifies men's trousers and breeches that are not swimwear. The defining characteristics for inclusion are that they must contain elastomeric fiber, be water-resistant, lack belt loops, and weigh more than 9 kilograms per dozen pairs. These criteria ensure a precise identification of garments designed for specific functional and performance attributes, distinguishing them from other types of trousers or shorts.

At this level of detail, the primary distinction lies in the exclusion of "boys'" garments, which are classified under the sibling category 6203.41.25.20. While both categories pertain to trousers and breeches of wool or fine animal hair within the "Other" subcategory of men's or boys' suits and trousers, the age and gender designation of the intended wearer is the critical differentiator. The presence of elastomeric fiber, water resistance, absence of belt loops, and the specific weight requirement remain consistent for both, but the intended consumer dictates the final classification.

As this node represents a leaf in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is complete at this point. Importers and exporters should meticulously verify all the stipulated criteria – material composition (wool or fine animal hair), functional properties (water resistance), design features (no belt loops), and weight per dozen – to ensure accurate declaration and compliance for these specific men's trousers and breeches.
