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, 6203.43.90.35, specifically covers boys' shorts crafted from synthetic fibers that fall under the broader category of "other" within the "shorts" and "boys'" subdivisions. These are garments designed for boys, made primarily of materials like polyester, nylon, or acrylic, and are not of a knitted or crocheted construction. The "other" designation indicates that these shorts do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within this level, implying a broad range of styles and designs that are not otherwise detailed.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6203.43.90.40 (also designated as "Other"), requires a precise understanding of the hierarchical structure. Since both are leaf nodes and designated as "Other," the differentiation often relies on the specific nuances of how customs authorities interpret "other" in the absence of further subdivision. In practice, the distinction might hinge on minor design elements, intended use, or additional fabrication details that are not explicitly captured in higher-level descriptions.

As a leaf node, this classification has no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 6203.43.90.35 is on confirming that the imported item is indeed boys' shorts made of synthetic fibers, and that it does not qualify for any more granular classification within the HTS. Examples of items that would fall here include standard athletic shorts, casual shorts, or school shorts made from synthetic materials, provided they meet all preceding criteria within Chapter 62.
