Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This HTS category, 6203.49, encompasses men's or boys' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts that are not made from wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This classification is for garments constructed from "other textile materials," which essentially means any textile fibers not specifically listed in the preceding sibling categories. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, those made from man-made fibers like rayon or certain regenerated cellulose fibers, as well as blends where the predominant fiber content falls outside the defined categories of wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers.

The distinction between 6203.49 and its siblings (6203.41, 6203.42, and 6203.43) hinges directly on the material composition of the garment. If the primary fiber content is wool or fine animal hair, it falls under 6203.41. If it is predominantly cotton, it is classified under 6203.42. Garments made primarily of synthetic fibers are classified under 6203.43. Therefore, 6203.49 serves as a residual category for all other textile compositions meeting the general description of trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts for men or boys.

Within this category, further subclassification is provided to distinguish between specialized types of garments and general-purpose items. The subcategory "Recreational performance outerwear" is designated for garments specifically designed for athletic or outdoor recreational activities, often incorporating features related to weather resistance, breathability, or enhanced durability for strenuous use. The "Other" subcategory covers all remaining trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts made from these "other textile materials" that do not meet the specific criteria for recreational performance outerwear.
