Men's Cotton Cargo Shorts

These men's cotton cargo shorts feature multiple utility pockets and are designed as part of a matching ensemble with a cotton jacket, made from identical cotton fabric for retail sale. They fall under HTS 6203.22.3030 as shorts within a men's cotton ensemble, not qualifying as a full suit due to lacking the specific suit coat structure. The ensemble setup and cotton composition align with Chapter 62 notes for non-knitted made-up textile articles.
