Overview
This HTS classification, 6204.29.20.25, specifically covers shorts when they are part of ensembles or sets designed for women or girls, and when these garments are fabricated from artificial fibers. The term "shorts" in this context refers to garments that cover the upper part of the legs, typically extending no lower than the knee.
It is crucial to distinguish these shorts from their sibling categories. Unlike garments classified under 6204.29.20.10 (jackets and blazers), 6204.29.20.15 (skirts and divided skirts), or 6204.29.20.20 (trousers and breeches), this subheading is exclusively for shorts that are components of an ensemble. Furthermore, it differentiates itself from other "blouses and shirts" within this same section by its focus on legwear. The material requirement of "artificial fibers" is a key differentiator from ensembles made from other textile materials.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, classification decisions at this level rely heavily on identifying whether the garment is indeed a short, whether it is part of an ensemble or set, and confirming that the primary textile material is artificial fiber. Practical examples could include women's shorts as part of a matching two-piece or three-piece outfit intended for leisure or casual wear, as long as they are not swimwear.
