6203.43.90.40 - Other (647)

This HTS code, 6203.43.90.40, classifies "Other" shorts for boys made of synthetic fibers, that do not fall under any more specific subheadings within the broader category of men's or boys' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. The overarching Chapter 62 pertains to apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted, and this specific subheading is nested within the classification for trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts of synthetic fibers.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its residual nature. It captures boys' synthetic shorts that are not specifically designated for inclusion in other, more narrowly defined subcategories. For instance, it excludes items imported as parts of playsuits, as indicated by the sibling category 6203.43.90.35. Therefore, classification under this code requires a careful review to ensure that the specific characteristics of the shorts do not align with any more detailed or specialized classifications available at this level or higher.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification of boys' synthetic shorts under this code is final, meaning that if a product meets the criteria of being a boy's short made of synthetic fibers and does not fit into any other more specific classification, it will be assigned here. Examples of items that might fall into this residual category include generic athletic shorts or casual shorts that do not possess unique design features or intended uses that would warrant a more specific HTS designation.
