6204.62.15.03 - Containing compact yarns described in statistical reporting numbers 5205.42.0021, 5205.43.0021, 5205.44.0021, 5205.46.0021 or 5205.47.0021 (348)

This HTS classification covers trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts made from cotton. Specifically, this category is for such garments that are classified as "other" within the broader "recreational performance outerwear" subcategory. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the use of specific compact cotton yarns, as detailed by the referenced statistical reporting numbers (5205.42.0021, 5205.43.0021, 5205.44.0021, 5205.46.0021, or 5205.47.0021). These yarns are often engineered for enhanced durability, breathability, or moisture-wicking properties, contributing to their suitability for recreational activities.

This specific classification is distinguished from other "other" categories at the same level by its precise yarn composition requirement. While other "other" categories might cover cotton trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, or shorts intended for general wear or different performance attributes, this node is narrowly defined by the type of compact cotton yarn used. The "recreational performance outerwear" designation indicates a focus on garments designed for athletic or outdoor pursuits, and the specific yarn codes further refine this by identifying a particular quality or construction of cotton fiber.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under HTS code 6204.62.15.03 is final once the criteria of being cotton trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, or shorts, and made with the specified compact yarns, are met. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the yarn construction and composition against the referenced statistical reporting numbers to ensure accurate classification.
