6204.69.02.20 - Girls' (448)

This HTS classification, 6204.69.02.20, specifically pertains to girls' trousers and breeches crafted from textile materials not of cotton, flax, or man-made staple fibers, and further defined as recreational performance outerwear. The "girls'" designation distinguishes these garments from their adult counterparts, ensuring accurate tariff application based on the intended wearer. These items are intended for athletic or outdoor activities, suggesting characteristics such as breathability, water resistance, or enhanced durability, differentiating them from general-purpose trousers.

At this level, the key distinction lies in the gender designation: 6204.69.02.20 is exclusively for girls, whereas its sibling category, 6204.69.02.10, covers women's trousers and breeches. Both fall under the broader umbrella of recreational performance outerwear and are constructed from artificial fibers. The defining material criteria within this section is the presence of 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, which sets them apart from other textile materials not meeting this threshold.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific HTS code. Classification at this point is definitive, meaning garments meeting all the preceding criteria – girls' recreational performance outerwear trousers or breeches, made of artificial fibers containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair – will be classified here. Examples would include specialized ski pants, hiking trousers, or other athletic bottoms designed for girls that incorporate these specific material compositions and functional attributes.
