6211.49.50.30 - Trousers (748) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6211.49.50.30, specifically designates "Trousers" that are women's or girls' garments, not knitted or crocheted, and are constructed from textile materials other than those explicitly covered by prior subheadings. Crucially, these trousers must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste to fall under this specific code. This category encompasses a wide range of silk-based trousers designed for women and girls, including those intended for casual wear, formal occasions, or athletic activities where silk is the predominant fiber.

It is essential to differentiate this category from its sibling, 6211.49.50.40, which is designated as "Other." While both fall under "Other garments, women's or girls': Of other textile materials: Other," the key distinction lies in the material composition. The sibling "Other" category would cover women's or girls' trousers made from materials where silk or silk waste does not constitute 70 percent or more by weight, or garments that are not trousers but fit the broader "other garments" description at this level. Therefore, if silk or silk waste is the primary fiber by weight (70% or more), this 6211.49.50.30 classification is applied.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends with the specific criteria of "Trousers" made predominantly of silk or silk waste for women or girls. Classification professionals must meticulously verify the weight percentage of silk or silk waste to ensure accurate adherence to this specific tariff code, distinguishing it from other textile trousers for women or girls under different material compositions.
