6210.40.25.39 - Other (647)

This HTS category, 6210.40.25.39, encompasses "Other" men's or boys' recreational performance outerwear trousers, breeches, and shorts made of man-made fibers, which do not fall under more specific subcategories within this classification. These garments are designed for athletic or active pursuits, manufactured from fabrics described in headings 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907, and are not knitted or crocheted. The "Other" designation signifies that these items are not specifically categorized as ski or snowboard pants, which are classified under the sibling category 6210.40.25.31.

The distinction between this "Other" category and its sibling, ski/snowboard pants, lies in the intended use and specific design features. While both are recreational performance outerwear for men and boys, ski/snowboard pants typically possess features such as reinforced knee and seat areas, gaiters to seal out snow, and often insulation specifically for cold-weather snow sports. Garments classified under 6210.40.25.39, therefore, would include performance trousers, breeches, or shorts suitable for other recreational activities like hiking, running, cycling, or general outdoor athletic training, lacking the specialized features dedicated solely to snow sports.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific HTS code. Classification at this level is determined by identifying that the garment is for men or boys, is recreational performance outerwear in the form of trousers, breeches, or shorts, is constructed from man-made fibers, and does not meet the specific criteria for ski or snowboard pants. The "Other" designation is crucial for ensuring that all remaining eligible garments are correctly classified under this residual category.
