Overview

This HTS classification, 6204.62.15.56, specifically covers women's shorts made of cotton, intended for recreational performance outerwear. This category is designed for shorts where performance characteristics are a key feature, such as moisture-wicking fabrics, enhanced breathability, or specialized designs for athletic activities, distinguishing them from general casual wear shorts.

These shorts are differentiated from sibling categories such as women's trousers and breeches, which refer to garments covering the legs, and girls' shorts, which are for younger females. The "recreational performance outerwear" qualifier is crucial; it means these are not simply everyday cotton shorts but are tailored for specific athletic or outdoor pursuits, implying functional design elements beyond basic construction.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under this specific code. Therefore, classification under 6204.62.15.56 relies heavily on the determination that the cotton shorts meet the criteria for "recreational performance outerwear," often requiring an assessment of their intended use and specific design features that enhance athletic function. Examples would include shorts designed for running, hiking, or similar activities where performance attributes are paramount.
