6203.43 - Of synthetic fibers:
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 6203.43, specifically covers men's or boys' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts that are not knitted or crocheted and are manufactured from synthetic fibers. These garments are part of a broader classification for suit-type clothing, but this particular subdivision focuses on the lower body garments as defined. The primary criterion for inclusion is the material composition, requiring that the textile used is of synthetic origin.
It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings based on material content. Category 6203.41 covers similar garments made from wool or fine animal hair, while 6203.42 is for those constructed from cotton. Additionally, 6203.49 encompasses garments made from any other textile materials not already specified in the preceding subheadings. Therefore, precise identification of the fiber content is crucial for accurate classification under 6203.43.
Within this category, further distinctions are made to refine the classification. The subcategories "Recreational performance outerwear" and "Other" serve to segregate garments based on their intended use and design. "Recreational performance outerwear" typically refers to specialized garments designed for athletic or outdoor activities, often incorporating features like waterproofing or breathability. The "Other" subcategory captures all remaining trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts made of synthetic fibers that do not fit the specific criteria for recreational performance outerwear.
