6209.90.20.00 - Trousers, breeches and shorts, except those imported as parts of sets (239)

This HTS category, 6209.90.20.00, specifically covers trousers, breeches, and shorts designed for infants and children under two years of age, or with a waist circumference not exceeding 60 cm. Crucially, these garments must be made from textile materials classified as artificial fibers, excluding those imported as integral parts of a larger apparel set. The focus here is on individual pieces of lower-body garments.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6209.90.10.00, is key. While both fall under "babies' garments and clothing accessories" of "other textile materials" and "artificial fibers," 6209.90.10.00 pertains specifically to blouses and shirts. Therefore, when classifying infant and child apparel made from artificial fibers, a determination must be made whether the item is a top (blouse/shirt) or a bottom (trousers/breeches/shorts) to ensure correct classification.

As this classification is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 6209.90.20.00 is definitive for qualifying trousers, breeches, and shorts made from artificial fibers when imported as individual items for babies and young children, provided they are not part of a set. Examples include children's sweatpants, denim shorts, or dress trousers made from materials like polyester or rayon.
