About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs).

Overview

This classification, HTS Code 6203.49.90.60, specifically designates shorts intended for men or boys, crafted from textile materials not of cotton, wool, man-made fibers, or fine animal hair. The term "shorts" in this context refers to garments that extend from the waist to the thigh or knee, designed for everyday wear rather than specialized sporting activities, and exclude swimwear.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6203.49.90.10 covers bib and brace overalls made from similar "other textile materials." While this sibling category encompasses garments with attached straps and a bib, the current classification is strictly for stand-alone shorts. The other sibling at this level, "Trousers and breeches," pertains to longer legwear, indicating a clear distinction based on the length of the garment.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 6203.49.90.60 relies on confirming the garment is indeed shorts, for men or boys, and that its textile composition falls within the "other textile materials" category, which includes materials not explicitly listed in preceding subheadings of 6203.49. This ensures accurate customs declarations for imported or exported men's and boys' shorts.
