6203.49.05.45 - Men's (647)

This HTS category, "Men's (647)", specifically classifies men's trousers, breeches, and shorts made from other textile materials, falling under the broader classification of recreational performance outerwear of artificial fibers. This designation is for garments designed for active pursuits where performance characteristics such as moisture-wicking, breathability, or stretch are primary considerations, and are constructed from man-made fibers.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Boys'", which would cover analogous garments for younger males. Furthermore, while the parent categories encompass a wider range of garments like suits and jackets, this specific node narrows the focus to lower-body wear. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that these items are not specifically categorized elsewhere within the "Shorts" sub-classification, implying a general inclusion for men's performance shorts not meeting more specific criteria.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, classification into HTS 6203.49.05.45 relies on accurately identifying the garment as men's shorts intended for recreational performance, composed of artificial fibers, and not falling into any more granular or explicitly defined sub-classifications. Practical considerations for classification include examining garment construction, labeling indicating performance features, and material composition.
