Overview

This HTS classification pertains to shorts specifically designed as recreational performance outerwear, manufactured from artificial fibers. These garments are characterized by their construction and intended use in athletic or outdoor activities where performance features such as moisture-wicking, breathability, or durability are paramount. The "artificial fibers" designation indicates that the primary material composition consists of man-made fibers like polyester, nylon, or rayon, as opposed to natural fibers.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling "Trousers and breeches" is the specific garment type. While both fall under the umbrella of "Trousers, breeches and shorts," this node exclusively covers the shorter legwear style. The "recreational performance outerwear" qualifier further refines the classification, excluding casual shorts not intended for athletic pursuits, and differentiating them from other types of shorts made from artificial fibers but not designed for performance applications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this category relies on confirming that the shorts meet the criteria for recreational performance outerwear, are primarily constructed of artificial fibers, and are not swimwear. Examples include cycling shorts with specialized padding, running shorts with integrated liners and reflective elements, or hiking shorts made from quick-drying, abrasion-resistant synthetic materials.
