6204.69.02 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair

This HTS category encompasses trousers and breeches specifically manufactured from "other textile materials," excluding those primarily composed of wool, fine animal hair, cotton, man-made fibers, or other specified categories. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is that the garment contains 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This classification is reserved for trousers and breeches that do not fit into more specific material-based categories.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "6204.69.03 Other," is crucial. While the sibling category serves as a residual classification for trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts made from "other textile materials" when they do not meet the specific wool or fine animal hair threshold, this category precisely targets those garments where wool or fine animal hair is the dominant component by weight at or above 36 percent.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to distinguish between different types of garments. Specifically, there is a subcategory for "Shorts (448)," which delineates a specific type of garment from longer trousers and breeches that would otherwise fall under this broader heading. This subdivision allows for more granular classification based on garment length and style.
