Men's Synthetic Fiber Cargo Trousers

These men's trousers are knitted from synthetic fibers like polyester, featuring multiple cargo pockets and a relaxed fit for casual wear. They fall under HTS 6103.43.1520 as men's trousers, breeches, or shorts (other than swimwear) made of synthetic fibers, knitted or crocheted. The garment lacks suit-specific tailoring, classifying it as 'other' trousers.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic via lab tests for accurate HTS classification and labeling under FTC rules

• Include commercial invoice detailing knitted construction and garment measurements to avoid misclassification as woven pants

• Watch for drawstrings or ribbed waistbands, which could shift to heading 6103.42 if resembling other garment types
