HS Code for Women's cotton trousers
HS code 6204.62 is the primary classification for women's or girls' woven cotton trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. This code is situated within Heading 6204, which covers a wide array of women's woven apparel. To be classified under 6204.62, the garment must be made of woven fabric where cotton is the predominant fiber by weight. This includes popular items such as denim jeans, corduroy pants, and cotton chinos. The classification process requires distinguishing these items from knitted trousers, which are classified under Chapter 61 (specifically 6104.62). Furthermore, the garment must be designed for the lower body, covering each leg separately. If the trousers are part of a matching suit or ensemble, they may be classified under 6204.12 or 6204.22, but as individual components or standalone items, 6204.62 is the correct designation.

Common Misclassification
A frequent misclassification occurs with knitted leggings or yoga pants, which are often incorrectly placed under 6204.62 but actually belong under 6104.62. The distinction between woven and knitted is the most critical factor in Chapter 61 vs. 62. Additionally, men's cotton trousers are often confused with women's; men's items fall under 6203.42. Customs officials look for gender-specific features like the direction of the fly or the cut of the hips. Another error involves classifying tracksuit bottoms here; if they are part of a tracksuit set, they should be classified under 6211.42.
