6211.49.15.10 - Trousers (448)

This classification pertains to women's or girls' trousers crafted from textile materials other than those explicitly covered by preceding subheadings, and specifically intended for recreational performance outerwear. This means the trousers are designed with features and materials that enhance athletic activity or outdoor pursuits, such as breathability, water resistance, or stretch properties, and are not intended for general everyday wear or formal occasions.

Distinguished from its sibling category, "Other" (6211.49.15.20), this specific classification requires the trousers to be demonstrably designed as recreational performance outerwear. The "Other" category would encompass women's or girls' garments under the broader umbrella of "Other garments, of other textile materials" that do not meet the specific performance criteria of this code, or fall outside of the track suit designation. The key differentiator lies in the intended use and the functional attributes of the garment for sporting or strenuous outdoor activities.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, to ensure accurate classification under 6211.49.15.10, classification officers should carefully consider the marketing, design features, and intended use of the trousers. Examples might include women's hiking pants with reinforced knees and water-repellent finishes, or women's skiing baselayers designed for thermal regulation and moisture-wicking during cold weather activities.
