6204.63.09.90 - Other (648)

This HTS subcategory, 6204.63.09.90, covers water-resistant trousers and breeches for women or girls, made of synthetic fibers, which are not specifically classified as ski or snowboard pants. The key defining characteristic is their water-resistant nature, indicating a level of protection against moisture. This classification applies to garments intended for general recreational or everyday wear where protection from light rain or splashes is a primary function.

The distinction from the sibling category 6204.63.09.10 lies in their intended use. While this category encompasses general water-resistant trousers, the sibling category is specifically for ski and snowboard pants. Ski and snowboard pants typically feature additional design elements and specialized materials to provide enhanced insulation, breathability, and robust waterproofing for extreme winter sports conditions, which are not the primary criteria for classification here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level depends on the specific features and intended use of the trousers or breeches. Items falling under this code would include a range of casual or outdoor wear designed to keep the wearer dry in damp conditions, such as hiking pants with a water-repellent finish or everyday trousers suitable for light rain.
