About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification covers men's shorts specifically designed for recreational performance outerwear, falling under the broader category of cotton trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. These are distinct from general-purpose shorts due to their intended use in athletic or outdoor activities that require specific functional attributes, such as moisture-wicking, breathability, durability, or enhanced freedom of movement.

Distinguished from sibling categories, this classification excludes men's trousers and breeches, as well as boys' trousers, breeches, and shorts. The key differentiator is the material composition (cotton) and the specialized purpose of recreational performance, rather than general wear or other specialized garment types.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on the satisfaction of both the material requirement (cotton) and the functional design for recreational performance outerwear. Examples include athletic shorts, hiking shorts, or other outdoor activity-specific shorts made from cotton-based fabrics, provided they are designed for performance.
