HS Code for Men's knit trousers

Classification under HS code 6103.49 is determined by both the construction method and the material composition of the garment. This specific code covers men's or boys' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts that are produced via knitting or crocheting. Crucially, this subheading serves as a residual category for items made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This includes materials such as artificial fibers (e.g., rayon, viscose), silk, or flax, provided the fabric structure is knitted. The classification follows General Interpretative Rules (GIR) 1 and 6, emphasizing the "knitted" nature of the garment which distinguishes it from Chapter 62 woven items. Proper identification requires verifying that the garment is not made of synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, which would shift the classification to 6103.43.

Common Misclassification

This code is frequently confused with HS code 6103.43, which covers similar garments made of synthetic fibers. Additionally, woven trousers made of the same materials are classified under 6203.49. Importers often mistake the material composition; if the garment contains more than 85% cotton or synthetic fibers, it must be moved to the respective specific codes like 6103.42 or 6103.43.
