Girls' Polyester Denim-Look Shorts from Canada
These girls' shorts are made from synthetic polyester fibers mimicking a denim appearance, designed for casual wear with an elastic waistband and hemmed legs. They fall under HTS 6204.63.90.40 as other girls' shorts of synthetic fibers, not swimwear, distinguishing them from trousers or ensembles. The classification fits Chapter 62 for made-up textile articles excluding knitted items.

Import Tips
• Verify synthetic fiber content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification; blends under 50% may shift to cotton headings
• Label garments clearly with fiber content, care instructions, and country of origin per FTC and CBP rules to prevent detention
• Avoid marketing as 'denim' if synthetic to dodge misclassification claims; document as 'denim-look' for audits
