6203.42.45.18 - Other (347)

This classification, HTS Code 6203.42.45.18, covers men's and boys' trousers and breeches made of cotton, which do not fall into any of the more specific subcategories provided. These garments are designed for everyday wear and are not differentiated by specific fabric weaves like corduroy or denim, nor are they designated for specialized industrial or medical use.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS Code 6203.42.45.06 specifically applies to trousers made from corduroy fabric, characterized by its distinctive ribbed texture. Similarly, HTS Code 6203.42.45.11 is reserved for blue denim trousers, a widely recognized fabric used in casual apparel. HTS Code 6203.42.45.14 accounts for trousers designed with specific functional attributes for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, or contaminated areas, implying specialized material or construction for protective purposes. Therefore, HTS Code 6203.42.45.18 encompasses all other cotton trousers and breeches for men and boys that do not meet these distinct criteria.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under this code. This means that any men's or boys' cotton trousers or breeches not explicitly classified under corduroy, blue denim, or specialized protective apparel would be categorized here. Examples would include trousers made from plain weave cotton, twill (other than denim), sateen, or other cotton fabrics not otherwise specified, as long as they fit the general description of trousers or breeches and are not swimwear.
