6204.69.65.10 - Subject to cotton restraints (348) 🖩

This HTS category encompasses trousers, breeches, and shorts manufactured from textile materials other than cotton, wool, or man-made fibers, and not falling under specific restraint categories. This includes garments made from silk or silk waste, as well as other less common natural or blended fibers not explicitly covered by the sibling categories. The focus here is on the absence of specified fiber content that would trigger different tariff treatments.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Specifically, category 6204.69.65.10 covers items *subject to cotton restraints*, while 6204.69.65.20 pertains to those *subject to wool restraints*, and 6204.69.65.30 is designated for items *subject to man-made fiber restraints*. This current classification, therefore, applies to garments that do not fall under any of these specific fiber-based restraint criteria.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code is based on the specific material composition and the absence of any qualifying restraints as outlined by the preceding HTS codes. Importers should carefully review the fiber content of their trousers, breeches, and shorts to ensure they are correctly classified under this provision or a more specific sibling category if applicable.
