6203.49.90.10 - Bib and brace overalls (859)

This HTS classification, 6203.49.90.10, specifically covers bib and brace overalls intended for men or boys, constructed from textile materials other than those falling into more specific categories like cotton or synthetic fibers. These garments are characterized by their attached bib and shoulder straps, designed to provide coverage of the torso and secure attachment to the wearer's lower body garments. The classification hinges on the absence of specific material exclusions found at higher levels, placing them within the broader "other textile materials" grouping.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial. While the same parent heading covers trousers, breeches, and shorts, this specific subheading is solely dedicated to bib and brace overalls. The sibling category 6203.49.90.60, for instance, covers shorts, which are distinct in their design and coverage from the full-body style of overalls. Therefore, the defining characteristic for this node is the presence of the bib and brace structure, irrespective of the specific weave or fiber content beyond the general "other textile materials" stipulation.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. Consequently, all items fitting the description of men's or boys' bib and brace overalls made from "other textile materials" that are not otherwise specified will be classified under this precise HTS code. Classification hinges on the garment's construction and its identification as bib and brace overalls, rather than being a pair of trousers, breeches, or shorts.
