6204.69.06.10 - Subject to cotton restraints (348)

This classification, HTS Code 6204.69.06.10, pertains to women's or girls' trousers, breeches, and shorts constructed from textile materials not specifically defined by the "of cotton," "of wool," or "of man-made fibers" classifications. The primary characteristic defining this subcategory is its exclusion from specific fiber-based restraint categories, indicating a classification based on a residual material composition or a specific set of manufacturing characteristics. These garments are part of the broader category of women's or girls' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts, which themselves fall under articles of apparel not knitted or crocheted.

This category is distinguished from its sibling entries primarily by the absence of specific fiber-based trade restraints applied to cotton, wool, or man-made fibers. HTS Code 6204.69.06.20 covers similar garments subject to wool restraints, while 6204.69.06.30 applies to those subject to man-made fiber restraints. Therefore, 6204.69.06.10 encompasses trousers, breeches, and shorts that are not subject to these particular trade limitations, often implying a classification based on other textile materials or a lack of specific quantitative restrictions imposed by importing countries.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification within this code is therefore final and relies on ensuring the garment meets the criteria of "trousers, breeches, and shorts" for women or girls, is not knitted or crocheted, and is not covered by more specific classifications based on cotton, wool, or man-made fiber restraints. Examples of garments that might fall here include those made from specific linen blends, silk, or other natural or synthetic fibers not explicitly enumerated or subject to separate trade agreements.
