Men's Polyester Swim Trunks from China

These men's swim trunks are made from knitted polyester fabric, featuring an elastic waistband and mesh lining for comfort during swimming. They fall under HTS 6112.39.00 as men's swimwear knitted or crocheted from other textile materials like synthetic polyester, not wool or fine animal hair. The design is specifically for water activities, distinguishing them from casual shorts.

Import Tips

Verify the fabric is knitted or crocheted with documentation like mill certificates to confirm classification in Chapter 61

Label fiber content accurately (e.g

100% polyester) as required by FTC and CBP to avoid misclassification penalties

Ensure no forbidden features like pockets below waist if borderline with other headings; common pitfall is confusing with casual shorts
