Boys' Cotton Cargo Trousers

These boys' trousers are knitted or crocheted from cotton fabric, featuring multiple cargo pockets and a relaxed fit suitable for casual wear. They classify under HTS 6103.42.1040 as boys' trousers (other than swimwear) made of cotton, distinct from suits or ensembles. The 'other' subheading applies as they do not match specific statistical breaks like denim.
