6204.29.40.43 - Shorts (847)

This HTS classification covers women's or girls' shorts specifically made from textile materials other than silk, excluding swimwear. These shorts fall within the broader category of women's or girls' ensembles, suits, and similar garments, but are specifically delineated as shorts. The classification focuses on garments designed for wear on the lower body, intended for general use rather than athletic or specialized aquatic activities.

Distinct from its sibling category, 6204.29.40.41, which encompasses trousers and breeches, this classification exclusively pertains to shorts. This distinction is based on the length and cut of the garment; shorts are typically shorter than breeches and significantly shorter than trousers. The material composition is a key differentiator, with this node specifically excluding garments made from silk, directing them to other classifications within the broader silk category.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the primary focus for classification within this code is to ensure the garment meets the criteria for women's or girls' shorts, is not swimwear, and is not primarily constructed of silk, while fitting within the context of other textile ensembles or separates.
