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 category specifically classifies boys' shorts that are considered "parts of playsuits." While the broader category 6203.43.13 covers other trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts made of synthetic fibers intended for recreational performance, this subcategory drills down to a very specific use case. The designation "(257)" likely refers to an internal reference or specific import declaration note.

Unlike its sibling category, 6203.43.13.40, which covers "Other" recreational performance shorts for boys of synthetic fibers, this classification is not for general recreational shorts. Instead, it applies exclusively when these shorts are imported *as a component part* of a playsuit. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declaration, as it signals a specific trade context for the imported goods rather than standalone garments.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification at this level requires careful consideration of the importer's declared intent and the nature of the goods being imported. If the shorts are part of a complete playsuit ensemble or are clearly intended for integration into one, they will fall under this specific HTS code. If they are intended for general wear as individual shorts, they would likely be classified under the "Other" sibling category.
