6204.69.22 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair

This HTS category, 6204.69.22, specifically classifies trousers, breeches, and shorts for women or girls that are made from artificial fibers and contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. The inclusion of a significant percentage of wool or fine animal hair is a critical determinant for classification within this subcategory. This differentiates them from garments made solely of artificial fibers or those with a lower wool content.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6204.69.28 (Other), hinges on the precise material composition. While 6204.69.28 would encompass trousers, breeches, and shorts of other textile materials not falling under this specific wool-blend criterion, this node is exclusively for those garments meeting the 36% or more wool/fine animal hair threshold. The term "artificial fibers" in the parent categories refers to the base material, which is then further refined by the wool content.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to distinguish between different types of garments. The subcategory 6204.69.22.30 specifically isolates "Shorts" (with a quantity indicator of 448), meaning that all other items classified under 6204.69.22, such as trousers and breeches made of artificial fibers with the specified wool content, would be captured by the main 6204.69.22 node, while shorts would be directed to the more granular subcategory.
