About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This category encompasses women's or girls' trousers and breeches, specifically those made of synthetic fibers, that are not otherwise specified. The classification at this level denotes a general grouping for such garments when they do not fall into more specific subcategories. These items are intended for everyday wear or casual use, adhering to the broader scope of women's or girls' trousers and breeches outlined in Chapter 62.

The distinction between this classification and its sibling, 6204.63.90.11, lies in the specific, albeit generalized, functional or design attribute noted in the description "Designed for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories or contaminated areas (648)." While both are women's or girls' trousers and breeches of synthetic fibers and fall under the "Other" subheadings, the designated use for this particular code is the key differentiating factor. Garments classified here are specifically manufactured or intended for environments where sanitation, protection, or specific operational requirements are paramount.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the material (synthetic fibers), the garment type (trousers and breeches), the intended wearer (women or girls), and the specific intended use as indicated. Therefore, import and export professionals should carefully consider the end-use and design of the garment to ensure accurate classification.
