6203.43.03.00 - Water resistant (659)

This classification, HTS Code 6203.43.03.00, specifically covers "Water resistant" bib and brace overalls for men or boys, when made from synthetic fibers. These are garments characterized by straps that pass over the shoulders and attach to the waistband or trousers, typically designed for workwear or outdoor activities where protection from light moisture is a key feature. The emphasis on "water resistant" is a critical distinguishing factor, indicating a level of fabric treatment or construction that repels water to a certain degree, but may not offer full waterproofing.

Unlike its sibling category, 6203.43.05 ("Other"), which would encompass bib and brace overalls of synthetic fibers not specifically designated as water resistant, this category is strictly for those with verifiable water-repellent properties. The "recreational performance outerwear" context implies these garments are engineered for activities that might expose them to light rain or splashes. The "other" subcategory under "recreational performance outerwear" further refines the scope, indicating these are not specialized for a particular sport but rather general outdoor use. As a leaf node, further subdivision does not occur, making the water resistance property the definitive criterion for classification.
