These women's trousers are made from synthetic fibers like nylon, designed as recreational performance outerwear with water-resistant coatings for outdoor activities such as hiking. They feature reinforced knees, multiple pockets, and adjustable cuffs but lack full waterproofing membranes, classifying them under HTS 6204.63.09.90 as other water-resistant trousers or breeches of synthetic fibers. This subheading applies to non-swimwear lower body garments intended for performance use.

Import Tips

• Verify water resistance via AATCC or ISO tests; not fully waterproof to avoid 6204.63.12+ subheadings

• Label fiber content accurately (e.g

• 100% nylon) and country of origin per FTC and CBP rules

• Avoid misclassification as swimwear (6211.11) by ensuring non-swim design; document recreational use
