6204.69.65.40 - Trousers and breeches (847)

This HTS classification, 6204.69.65.40, specifically covers trousers and breeches for women or girls that are not knitted or crocheted and are made from textile materials other than those specified in prior subheadings, and not being silk or silk waste. These are distinct from the sibling category 6204.69.65.50, which exclusively covers shorts. Therefore, this category is for garments designed to cover the lower body from the waist down, extending to the ankle or calf, in the form of trousers or breeches.

The distinction between trousers and breeches, within this context, generally refers to the length and style of the garment. Trousers typically extend to the ankle, while breeches are shorter, often ending at the knee or just below, and may be fuller or more fitted depending on historical or fashion context. It is crucial to examine the specific cut, design, and intended wear of the garment to accurately distinguish it.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the precise identification of the garment as trousers or breeches, its non-knitted/non-crocheted construction, and its material composition falling within the "other textile materials" and "other" designations of the preceding subheadings, specifically excluding silk or silk waste.
