Men's Polyester Cargo Shorts from Germany
These men's cargo shorts are made from durable polyester fabric, featuring multiple pockets and a relaxed fit suitable for casual wear. They fall under HTS 6203.49.90.60 as shorts of other textile materials (not cotton, wool, or synthetic fiber blends specified elsewhere), designed for men or boys and not swimwear. The garment lacks a ribbed waistband or pockets below the waist that would shift it to other headings.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% non-cotton/non-wool synthetics to avoid reclassification to 6203.43; include lab test reports
• Label clearly as 'men's' with left-over-right closure; provide invoices specifying 'shorts, not swimwear' to prevent disputes
