6203.49.25.10 - Men's (659)

This HTS category specifically classifies men's bib and brace overalls constructed from textile materials not of cotton, nor of man-made fibers, nor of wool, nor of fine animal hair. The term "bib and brace overalls" refers to garments that feature a bib front attached to straps that go over the shoulders, typically worn for protection or work. The key defining characteristic for inclusion here is the material composition, which excludes common fibers like cotton and synthetics, placing these garments in a more specialized material group.

This classification differentiates itself from sibling categories by its precise material exclusions. For instance, it is distinct from overalls made of cotton, or those classified under categories specifically designated for man-made fibers. The focus remains on "other textile materials," suggesting a reliance on natural fibers like flax (linen), ramie, or potentially blends that do not fall into the more frequently encountered fiber types at higher levels of the tariff schedule.

As this node represents a leaf in the HTS classification tree, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for accurate classification under 6203.49.25.10 is on meticulously identifying the garment as men's bib and brace overalls and verifying that their textile composition does not align with the excluded fiber types at higher levels. Classification professionals must carefully examine the fiber content to ensure it correctly falls within "other textile materials" as defined by the HTS.
