6204.63.09.10 - Ski/snowboard pants (648)

This HTS classification covers water-resistant ski and snowboard pants designed for recreational performance. These garments are specifically tailored to protect the wearer from moisture encountered during winter sports activities. The "water resistant" designation is a key criterion for inclusion in this subheading, implying a level of protection against light to moderate precipitation and snow.

Distinguishing this subheading from its sibling, 6204.63.09.90 "Other," is the specific functional requirement of water resistance for recreational outerwear. While the sibling category might encompass water-resistant trousers for other uses, this subheading is narrowly focused on the demands of ski and snowboard performance. The parent categories confirm these are trousers made of synthetic fibers and intended for women or girls.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification of a garment under this subheading hinges on its suitability for water resistance during activities like skiing and snowboarding, its construction from synthetic fibers, and its intended gender (women's or girls'). Examples would include insulated ski pants or shell pants with waterproof or water-repellent coatings that are marketed and designed for these specific winter sports.
