6204.69.80.30 - Subject to man-made fiber restraints (648)

This HTS classification, 6204.69.80.30, specifically covers trousers, breeches, and shorts designed for women or girls, which are not knitted or crocheted. These garments are crafted from textile materials other than cotton or wool. The key defining characteristic of this category is that the articles are subject to man-made fiber restraints, as indicated by the restraint code (648). This signifies that the import or export of these particular garments is governed by specific quota or limitation agreements related to their fiber content.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS code 6204.69.80.10 pertains to similar garments subject to cotton restraints, while 6204.69.80.20 covers those under wool restraints. Therefore, the primary differentiator lies in the specific fiber content and the associated trade agreements or restrictions that apply. When classifying goods under this heading, the importer or exporter must ascertain whether the predominant fiber content falls under man-made fibers and if any specific restraint provisions are applicable.

As a leaf node in the HTS, 6204.69.80.30 does not have further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level should therefore be precise, focusing on the garment type (trousers, breeches, or shorts), the intended wearer (women or girls), the absence of knitted or crocheted construction, and crucially, the material composition being man-made fibers subject to specific restraints. This ensures accurate reporting and compliance with international trade regulations.
