6204.63.11.32 - Women's (648)

This HTS category specifically classifies women's shorts crafted from synthetic fibers that are intended for use as recreational performance outerwear. This designation encompasses shorts designed to offer functional benefits during athletic or outdoor activities, such as moisture-wicking properties, enhanced breathability, or UV protection. The materials will primarily be synthetic, such as polyester, nylon, or spandex, often incorporating technical weaves or finishes.

Distinguishing this category from potential siblings is crucial. If a sibling category existed for "non-performance outerwear" shorts of synthetic fibers, this classification would be exclusive to those designed with specific performance attributes in mind. It would not cover general fashion shorts or casual wear made from synthetic materials. The emphasis here is on the intended use and the functional characteristics derived from the materials and construction.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the precise determination of whether the women's shorts made of synthetic fibers are indeed designed and marketed as recreational performance outerwear. This would involve examining product labeling, intended use, and the technical features of the garment itself to differentiate it from general apparel.
