6203.49.90.20 - Subject to cotton restraints (347) 🖩

This classification pertains to men's or boys' trousers and breeches made from textile materials other than those specifically mentioned under cotton, wool, or man-made fibers subject to restraint. It encompasses a broad range of legwear, excluding swimwear, that does not fall into the more narrowly defined categories of cotton, wool, or other specific man-made fiber categories subject to import quotas or limitations. The "Other" designation at this level signifies that these garments are not specifically enumerated elsewhere within this chapter based on material composition or specific design features, provided they are not subject to cotton restraints.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under "Trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts: Of other textile materials: Other," the key differentiator lies in the material restraints. This particular subcategory (6203.49.90.20) applies to items *subject to cotton restraints*, meaning their import is managed under specific quota agreements related to cotton content. It is distinct from 6203.49.90.25 (wool restraints), 6203.49.90.30 (man-made fiber restraints), and 6203.49.90.45 (all other, non-restrained items).

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this specific code relies on confirming that the goods are indeed men's or boys' trousers or breeches, made of textile materials not specifically enumerated elsewhere, and importantly, that their import is subject to cotton restraints as indicated by the controlling notes for this category. If the goods are made of other textile materials and are not subject to any restraints or are not specifically cotton-based, then alternative sibling categories would be more appropriate.
