Overview

This HTS category, 6203.42.45.06, specifically classifies men's or boys' trousers and breeches made of cotton, with a particular emphasis on those constructed from corduroy fabric. Corduroy is characterized by its distinctive cut pile weaving, creating parallel cords or ridges, which sets it apart from other cotton trouser classifications. This designation is applicable to garments where corduroy is the primary component, influencing the texture, appearance, and overall construction of the apparel.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under men's or boys' cotton trousers and breeches, 6203.42.45.06 is exclusively for corduroy. Other sibling categories, such as 6203.42.45.11, cover blue denim, while 6203.42.45.14 pertains to specialized garments designed for healthcare or contamination control settings. The remaining sibling, 6203.42.45.18, serves as a residual category for other types of cotton trousers and breeches not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 6203.42.45.06 hinges on the definitive presence of corduroy fabric as the primary material for men's or boys' trousers and breeches made of cotton. Importers and exporters should ensure the garment's construction definitively meets the visual and tactile characteristics of corduroy to ensure correct entry.
