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 pertains to men's shorts specifically designed as recreational performance outerwear. These garments are characterized by features intended to enhance athletic activity or outdoor recreation, such as moisture-wicking fabrics, ventilation panels, or specialized pocket configurations for sporting equipment. The "performance" aspect distinguishes them from general-purpose shorts, requiring an assessment of their design and materials to confirm their intended use in active pursuits.

While this category focuses on men's shorts, its sibling category, "Boys':" (referring to HTS code 6203.43.13.20), covers identical product types intended for boys. The distinction lies solely in the intended wearer demographic. As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. Therefore, classification hinges on the accurate identification of the garment as men's shorts that meet the criteria for recreational performance outerwear, differentiating them from less specialized shorts within the broader category of trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts of synthetic fibers.
