Women's Spandex-Blend Denim-Look Shorts from Mexico

These women's shorts mimic denim but are woven from synthetic spandex-blend fibers for stretch and comfort, with a 5-pocket jeans styling. They fit HTS 6204.63.90.32 as other women's synthetic shorts, excluding swimwear, due to predominant man-made fiber content and non-specialized 'other' category.

Import Tips

• Conduct fiber burn tests if blend ratios are close to 50/50 to confirm synthetic dominance for 6204.63

• Package for retail sale individually, not in ensembles, to prevent reclassification as 6204.62 sets

• Watch for anti-dumping duties on specific Asian synthetic apparel origins; check ITC notices pre-shipment
