6204.61.80 - Other

This HTS category, 6204.61.80, encompasses "Other" trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts for women or girls, made of wool or fine animal hair, that do not fit into more specific subheadings. It represents a residual classification for items within this group when specific distinguishing features outlined in other headings are absent. The "other" designation implies that if an item possesses a particular characteristic that would place it in a more defined category, it should be classified there instead.

Distinction from sibling categories is crucial. For example, 6204.61.60 specifically covers trousers and breeches that contain elastomeric fiber, are water-resistant, lack belt loops, and weigh more than 6 kilograms per dozen. Therefore, items classified under 6204.61.80 would not possess these specific attributes. The primary material (wool or fine animal hair) remains a constant across these related subheadings, but the absence of the defining features of the sibling category directs classification here.

This category serves as a broad grouping, with further subdivisions into more specific types of garments. The subcategories, 6204.61.80.30 for shorts and 6204.61.80.40 for bib and brace overalls, allow for more precise classification based on the garment's design and intended use. These subdivisions address distinct forms of legwear within the broader "trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts" grouping, ensuring that garments are accurately categorized based on their specific construction.
