Overview
This HTS category, 6204.69, encompasses women's or girls' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts that are not made of wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This designation is specifically for articles constructed from "other textile materials," which broadly includes fabrics derived from vegetable fibers (other than cotton, such as linen, ramie, or jute), silk, or man-made staple fibers not classified as synthetic. The focus is on the predominant textile component of the garment.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS codes 6204.61, 6204.62, and 6204.63 specifically address garments made primarily from wool/fine animal hair, cotton, and synthetic fibers, respectively. Therefore, if the primary textile material of the trousers, overalls, breeches, or shorts is not one of these explicitly named categories, then 6204.69 becomes the appropriate classification.
Within this category, further subdivision exists for "Recreational performance outerwear" and "Other." The "Recreational performance outerwear" subcategory would likely apply to specialized garments designed for athletic activities or outdoor pursuits, often incorporating specific functional properties like water resistance, breathability, or insulation. The "Other" subcategory serves as a residual category for all remaining trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts made from the specified "other textile materials" that do not meet the criteria for recreational performance outerwear.
