6204.69.03 - Other

This category, HTS 6204.69.03, specifically designates "Other" trousers, breeches, and shorts for women or girls, fabricated from textile materials not knitted or crocheted, and falling under the broader classification of recreational performance outerwear composed of artificial fibers. It encompasses a diverse range of garments designed for active pursuits that do not fit into more specific material or construction criteria within this chapter. The key defining characteristic is the combination of being made from artificial fibers, intended for recreational performance, and not being specifically categorized elsewhere by material composition.

Distinguishing this code from its sibling, HTS 6204.69.02, is crucial. While 6204.69.02 exclusively covers garments containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, this category, 6204.69.03, applies to trousers, breeches, and shorts of artificial fibers that **do not meet** that specific wool or fine animal hair content threshold. Therefore, the presence or absence of a significant percentage of wool or fine animal hair is the primary differentiator between these two closely related classifications.

This category serves as a residual classification for women's or girls' trousers, breeches, and shorts made from artificial fibers intended for recreational performance. Its subcategories, "Trousers and breeches" and "Shorts," further refine the classification based on the garment's length and style. This hierarchical division allows for more precise identification of the specific type of garment within the broader scope of recreational performance outerwear made from artificial fibers.
