Overview

This HTS classification, 6204.69.03.40, specifically covers women's shorts manufactured from textile materials other than cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers that fall under more specific headings. These shorts are designed for recreational performance wear, implying they possess features such as moisture-wicking properties, breathability, or specific construction tailored for athletic or outdoor activities. The "women's" designation clearly distinguishes these articles from similar garments intended for male or unisex use.

While the parent categories detail various women's lower body garments, this specific subheading zeroes in on shorts that are not primarily made of natural fibers like cotton or wool, nor are they classified under more specialized artificial fiber categories. The crucial distinguishing factor lies in their intended use as "recreational performance outerwear," meaning they are engineered for activities rather than general fashion or everyday wear, even if they are composed of artificial fibers.

As this node represents a leaf in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for women's recreational performance shorts made of textile materials not otherwise specified in higher-level headings, encompassing a wide array of technical fabrics designed for active pursuits.
