6203.42.45 - Other

This HTS classification, 6203.42.45, encompasses "Other" trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts for men or boys, made of cotton. This category serves as a residual classification for such garments when they do not fit into more specific subdivisions within the broader "Of cotton" group. The primary defining characteristic is their construction from cotton, coupled with their functionality as lower-body apparel for men and boys.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6203.42.25, which specifically covers "Bib and brace overalls" made of cotton. While both fall under the umbrella of cotton lower-body garments for men and boys, 6203.42.45 is for all other types of trousers, breeches, and shorts that are not bib and brace overalls. This ensures that garments are classified accurately based on their specific design and construction.

Within this "Other" classification for cotton trousers, shorts, and breeches, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on specific yarn types. The subcategory 6203.42.45.03 is reserved for items made using compact yarns as described in specific statistical reporting numbers. All other cotton trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts not meeting these specific yarn criteria fall into the remaining "Other" subcategory for further detailed breakdown.
