About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers shorts specifically designed for recreational performance outerwear. These are garments intended for athletic or outdoor activities where enhanced functionality, such as moisture-wicking, breathability, or stretch, is a key feature. The material composition is of synthetic fibers, aligning with the broader category's requirements for performance apparel.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, "Trousers and breeches," by the specific garment type: shorts. While both may fall under "Of synthetic fibers" and "Recreational performance outerwear," the defining characteristic here is the length and style of the garment, excluding longer forms of legwear.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within this code relies on the definitive characteristics of the shorts themselves: their synthetic fiber composition and their primary intended use as recreational performance outerwear. Examples would include shorts designed for running, hiking, cycling, or other active pursuits where performance attributes are paramount.
