6103.43.15.70/Boys' Synthetic Fiber Athletic Shorts/China

Boys' Synthetic Fiber Athletic Shorts from China

These boys' shorts are made from knitted synthetic fibers like polyester, designed for sports and casual wear with an elastic waistband and mesh lining for breathability. They fall under HTS 6103.43.15.70 as boys' shorts (other than swimwear) knitted or crocheted from synthetic fibers, not part of suits or ensembles. The 'other' subheading applies since they do not meet specific statistical suffixes for cargo or basketball shorts.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic fibers via lab testing to confirm Chapter 61 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Ensure labeling includes country of origin, fiber content, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent entry refusals

• Check for drawstrings or tightening features at the bottom; if present, may shift to heading 6103 exclusion notes or 6113 for garments
