Boys' Artificial Fiber Cargo Shorts from Japan

These boys' cargo shorts are made from artificial fibers like polyester, featuring multiple pockets and a relaxed fit suitable for casual wear. They classify under HTS 6203.49.50.60 as boys' shorts of artificial fibers, not part of a suit or ensemble, and other than swimwear. The artificial fiber composition and boys' sizing for heights over typical baby sizes place them in this non-knitted category of Chapter 62.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% artificial fibers via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton or wool subheadings

• Label garments clearly as 'boys'' with size charts; ensure right-over-left closure if applicable per chapter notes

• Avoid selling as sets with upper garments to prevent ensemble classification under 6203.42
