Cotton Girls' Playsuit Shorts Panels from Japan

Pre-cut fabric panels made of cotton specifically for assembling the shorts portion of girls' playsuits, which are recreational performance outerwear for young girls. These parts are imported unfinished and require sewing to complete the garment, classified under HTS 6204.62.15.61 as girls' shorts imported as parts of playsuits. They match the cotton composition and style for non-swimwear shorts in Chapter 62 for made-up textile articles.
