6203.42.45.11 - Blue denim (347)

This HTS classification covers men's and boys' trousers and breeches made of cotton, specifically those fabricated from blue denim fabric. The term "blue denim" is a key identifier for this subcategory, referring to the characteristic twill weave cotton fabric, typically dyed with indigo, commonly used for workwear and casual apparel. This designation is crucial for distinguishing these garments from other cotton trousers and breeches classified elsewhere.

Within the "Other" category for cotton trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts, this specific classification for blue denim differentiates itself from sibling categories by its material's distinct visual and textural properties. For instance, it is separate from corduroy trousers (6203.42.45.06), which are characterized by their ridged pattern, and garments designed for specialized environments like hospitals or laboratories (6203.42.45.14), which would have functional design elements or specific material treatments.

As this classification (6203.42.45.11) represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The primary classification criteria at this level are the garment type (men's trousers and breeches), the material (cotton), and the specific fabric type (blue denim). Therefore, importers and exporters should confirm that the goods meet these explicit criteria to ensure accurate customs declaration and avoid potential discrepancies.
