Girls' Cotton-Blend Synthetic Fiber Shorts from China
These girls' shorts are knitted from a blend of synthetic fibers like polyester with cotton, featuring an elastic waistband and designed for casual wear. They fall under HTS 6104.63.20.60 as other girls' shorts (not swimwear) made predominantly of synthetic fibers, excluding suits or ensembles. The 'other' category applies since they do not match specialized definitions like bib and brace overalls.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic fibers via lab testing for accurate classification; ensure labeling indicates 'girls'' sizing for height under typical youth standards
• Common pitfall: classifying as swimwear if water-resistant—requires specific swimwear features
• Provide invoices detailing knit construction and retail packaging
