6210.40.55.31 - Ski/snowboard pants (647) 🖩

This HTS code, 6210.40.55.31, specifically classifies ski and snowboard pants for men and boys. These garments are designed for winter sports, indicating they are likely constructed from durable, weather-resistant, and potentially insulated materials to provide protection against cold, wind, and moisture. The "other men's or boys' garments" designation within heading 6210 signifies that these pants are not specifically enumerated in other subheadings and are made up of non-knitted or non-crocheted textile materials, as defined by headings 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6210.40.55.39, is crucial. While both fall under "Other" trousers, breeches, and shorts made of man-made fibers within the broader "Other men's or boys' garments" category, this specific code is reserved exclusively for ski and snowboard pants. The sibling category would therefore encompass other types of men's and boys' trousers, breeches, and shorts made from similar man-made fiber fabrics that do not serve the specialized function of winter sports apparel.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the primary focus for classification within 6210.40.55.31 is to accurately identify garments intended for skiing or snowboarding, ensuring they are made from man-made fibers and fall within the scope of heading 6210 for non-knitted or non-crocheted apparel. The specific functionality and intended use as dedicated ski or snowboard wear are the defining characteristics that differentiate these pants from other general-purpose trousers.
