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). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification covers shorts specifically designed for recreational performance outerwear, manufactured from wool or fine animal hair. These garments are intended for athletic or outdoor activities where the properties of wool, such as temperature regulation and moisture-wicking, are beneficial. Examples include ski shorts, hiking shorts, or athletic shorts made from merino wool or cashmere blends, designed to offer comfort and performance during strenuous use.

This category is distinct from its sibling, "Bib and brace overall," which refers to garments with attached bibs and shoulder straps. Furthermore, it differs from a general "Trousers and breeches" classification by its specific designation as recreational performance outerwear, implying a focus on technical features and materials tailored to active pursuits rather than everyday wear.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the precise identification of the garment as shorts, their material composition (wool or fine animal hair), and their intended purpose as recreational performance outerwear. Any deviation from these criteria would necessitate classification under a different HTS code.
