6203.49.01.05 - Insulated, for cold weather protection (659)

This HTS category specifically classifies men's or boys' bib and brace overalls constructed from other textile materials, excluding those made from cotton or synthetic fibers, and designated for recreational performance outerwear. These garments are characterized by their full-length design, typically featuring straps that extend over the shoulders and attach to a bib at the chest, often with a back panel. The key differentiator for this subcategory is their intended use as specialized outerwear for recreational activities, designed to offer protection and functionality during such pursuits.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Of other textile materials: Recreational performance outerwear: Of artificial fibers: Other," is the material composition. While both fall under recreational performance outerwear, this specific classification is for bib and brace overalls made from textile materials that are neither cotton nor artificial fibers. This might include materials like wool, silk, or other natural fibers not otherwise specified, as long as they meet the performance outerwear criteria for recreational use.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into HTS code 6203.49.01.05 hinges on the precise material composition of the bib and brace overalls, their design as recreational performance outerwear, and their construction from textile materials not falling under more specific headings, such as artificial fibers. The explicit mention of "Insulated, for cold weather protection (659)" within the description provides a crucial further qualifier, indicating that the primary function and design of these garments are for warmth and protection in cold conditions during recreational activities.
