Girls' Cotton Denim Knee-Length Shorts from Mexico
These girls' shorts are made from knitted cotton denim fabric, featuring a relaxed fit with an elastic waistband and mock pockets, designed for casual everyday wear. They fall under HTS 6104.62.20.60 as other knitted cotton shorts for girls, not swimwear, with right-over-left closure typical for girls' garments. The garment lacks features like drawstrings or ribbed waistbands that would shift classification.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is at least 70% cotton via lab tests to confirm Chapter 61 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fibers
• Ensure labels indicate 'girls'' sizing and right-over-left closure per chapter notes to prevent misclassification as women's or boys' garments
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'knitted or crocheted' construction and exclude swimwear features to dodge common CBP challenges
