6203.42.45.51 - Men's shorts (347) 🖩

This HTS classification, HTS Code 6203.42.45.51, specifically designates men's shorts. These are garments designed to cover the lower part of the body, extending from the waist or hips to a point above the knee. The primary material for this classification is cotton, as indicated by the preceding parent categories. This category encompasses a broad range of styles and designs for men's shorts, excluding those primarily intended for swimwear.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, it is important to note that the sibling categories at this level focus on trousers, breeches, and boys' shorts. Therefore, HTS 6203.42.45.51 is exclusively for shorts intended for adult males and is distinct from longer legwear or garments for younger males. The "Other" designations at various hierarchical levels indicate that this is a residual classification within the broader category of cotton men's or boys' shorts, not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code relies on the definitive inclusion of the garment as men's shorts made primarily of cotton, not falling under more specific exclusions or distinct garment types. Examples would include casual shorts, athletic shorts (if not specifically swimwear), and dress shorts made of cotton fabric.
