6203.42.45.03 - Containing compact yarns described in statistical reporting numbers 5205.42.0021, 5205.43.0021 5205.44.0021, 5205.46.0021 or 5205.47.0021 (347)

This HTS category, 6203.42.45.03, specifically classifies trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts for men and boys, when made of cotton and falling under the "other" classification for cotton trousers. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the cotton fabric used in its construction contains compact yarns, as further defined by specific statistical reporting numbers such as 5205.42.0021 and others. This detail signifies a particular yarn construction method that impacts the fabric's properties and is a key differentiator for classification purposes.

While other subcategories at this level might also cover cotton trousers, the inclusion of "containing compact yarns" makes this a distinct classification. Goods in this category are generally designed for everyday wear and can range from tailored trousers to more casual shorts and overalls, all sharing the commonality of being manufactured from cotton that meets the compact yarn specification. The specificity of the yarn type is critical for accurate duty assessment and statistical reporting, distinguishing these items from other cotton trousers not made with this particular yarn technology.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this classification. Therefore, the focus for classification rests entirely on the material composition, specifically the use of cotton with compact yarns as defined by the referenced statistical reporting numbers, and the garment type falling under men's or boys' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts.
