Women's Cotton Denim Bermuda Shorts from Mexico
These knee-length women's Bermuda shorts are made from knitted cotton denim fabric, featuring a zip fly and belt loops for casual wear. They fall under HTS 6104.62.20 as knitted or crocheted trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts (other than swimwear) of cotton, specifically in the 'other' subheading. The garment lacks features like drawstrings or ribbed waistbands that would shift it to other classifications.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is at least 70% cotton via lab tests to confirm Chapter 61 classification and avoid reclassification to synthetic blends
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'knitted or crocheted' construction and garment measurements to distinguish from woven Chapter 62 items
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as swimwear, which shifts to 6112; include care labels per FTC requirements
