Overview

This HTS classification, 6204.23.00.15, specifically covers trousers, breeches, and shorts that fall within the broader category of women's or girls' ensembles and suit-type garments. These items are distinguished by their material composition and construction, being made predominantly of synthetic fibers, and further specified as containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This combination of material requirements places them in a distinct group within the ensembles category.

To differentiate this subcategory, it's important to note what it excludes. Unlike sibling categories that classify garments such as jackets and blazers (6204.23.00.05), skirts and divided skirts (6204.23.00.10), or blouses and shirts (6204.23.00.20), this classification is exclusively for lower body garments. The "Other" category (6204.23.00.25) would encompass ensembles or garments within heading 6204 not specifically enumerated in the preceding subheadings.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 6204.23.00.15 rests on confirming the garment type (trousers, breeches, or shorts), verifying it is for women or girls, ensuring it forms part of an ensemble or suit-type garment group, and critically, confirming the material composition meets the criteria of being of synthetic fibers and containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. Practical examples would include tailored wool-blend trousers with a significant synthetic content designed for women, or similar style breeches and shorts.
