6203.49.50.05 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (447)

This HTS classification, 6203.49.50.05, specifically covers men's or boys' trousers, breeches, and shorts that are not made from knitted or crocheted fabrics. The defining characteristic of this category is that the garment must contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, and it is further categorized under "of artificial fibers." This means the primary material composition, while including a significant wool or fine animal hair component, is also significantly composed of artificial fibers.

It is important to distinguish this category from other potential classifications that might also fall under "trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts" within Chapter 62. For instance, garments primarily made of natural fibers, or those with a lower percentage of wool/fine animal hair, or those classified as swimwear, would not fall under this specific heading. The "of artificial fibers" qualifier is crucial for accurate classification, indicating the presence of man-made filament or staple fibers alongside the specified wool or fine animal hair content.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within this HTS code relies entirely on meeting the criteria of being men's or boys' trousers, breeches, or shorts, not knitted or crocheted, falling under the "Of other textile materials" and "Other" subheadings, and crucially, containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair while also being classified as "of artificial fibers." The specific percentage and type of animal hair, as well as the specific artificial fibers, are key to differentiating from other potential "other textile material" classifications.
