6203.43.75.10 - Ski/snowboard pants (647)

This HTS classification, 6203.43.75.10, specifically covers ski and snowboard pants made from synthetic fibers. These garments are designed for winter sports and are characterized by their ability to resist water, offering protection from snow and moisture encountered during these activities. The "647" designation further refines this category to highlight their specialized function for snow-related pursuits.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6203.43.75.90, is crucial. While both fall under "Other" trousers of synthetic fibers, this specific subcategory is reserved for those explicitly designed and marketed as water-resistant ski or snowboard pants. The sibling category, "Other," would encompass any other trousers of synthetic fibers that do not possess these specific water-resistant qualities or are not intended for ski/snowboard use.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level relies heavily on confirming the material composition (synthetic fibers) and the intended purpose and functional characteristic of water resistance for ski and snowboard activities, as per the descriptive note (647). This ensures that only garments meeting these precise criteria are assigned to this code, avoiding misclassification with general outdoor trousers or non-water-resistant winter wear.
