6204.61.80.30 - Shorts (448)

This HTS classification pertains to shorts that are specifically tailored for women or girls, constructed from wool or fine animal hair. These garments are distinct from other categories within the "Trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts" group. Unlike trousers and breeches (6204.61.80.x), which generally extend to the ankle or below, these are defined by their shorter length, typically ending at the thigh or knee. Furthermore, they are differentiated from bib and brace overalls (6204.61.80.40) by the absence of attached bib and suspender straps.

Given that this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification of shorts under 6204.61.80.30 relies on a definitive identification of the garment as "shorts" and confirmation of its composition of wool or fine animal hair. Practical classification will involve examining the physical characteristics of the garment and its intended use, ensuring it meets the criteria for women's or girls' shorts and is not primarily intended for athletic or specialized activities covered elsewhere.
