Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made of woven rather than knitted fabric
Woven cotton women's trousers, breeches, and shorts fall under Chapter 62, as this chapter covers only knitted or crocheted articles.
If classified as garments for sports use like athletic shorts
Knitted cotton garments principally for sports activities are directed to heading 6114, overriding other classifications per chapter notes.
If lacking the Chapter 59 coating and treated as standard knitted cotton
Uncoated knitted cotton women's trousers, breeches, or shorts are classified in heading 6104, as 6113 specifies fabrics of 5903/5906/5907 only.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the knitted fabric meets heading 5903 criteria with polyurethane coating over 15% of surface area via lab testing for accurate classification
• Include detailed fabric composition invoices specifying cotton base and coating to avoid reclassification to uncoated cotton shorts
• Check for Chapter 59 exclusions; garments resembling swimwear or with specific closures may shift to other subheadings
