6204.69.06 - Other

This HTS category encompasses trousers, breeches, and shorts for women and girls that are not made of artificial fibers or silk or silk waste. These garments are specifically designed for recreational and active pursuits, signifying a focus on functionality, durability, and comfort during physical activities. Examples include hiking pants, ski trousers, athletic shorts, and cycling shorts, provided they meet the criteria of recreational performance outerwear and are not swimwear.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike "Of artificial fibers" or "Of silk or silk waste," the defining characteristic here is not the material composition itself, but rather the garment's intended use as recreational performance outerwear. Therefore, a pair of trousers made of synthetic material, for instance, would be classified here if its design and features clearly indicate its use in sports or recreational activities, and not under the more general "Of artificial fibers" heading if that distinction is more specific.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular control. The subcategory "Trousers, breeches and shorts" further delineates these items based on their specific form. Additionally, a distinct subcategory exists for "Bib and brace overalls" (6204.69.06.50), which are trousers featuring attached suspenders or bibs, recognizing their unique construction and potential for specialized recreational use, such as in workwear or certain sports.
