Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If knitted or crocheted from synthetic fibers
Knitted swimwear shifts to Chapter 61, as Chapter 62 excludes knitted articles except specific headings.
If designed for women or girls
Closure and cut determine gender; right-over-left front closure classifies as women's swimwear.
If not specifically designed for swimming, e.g., board shorts for casual wear
General men's shorts of synthetic fibers fall under heading 6203 if lacking swimwear features like mesh lining.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fabric is woven (not knitted) via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to Chapter 61
• Label with fiber content, care instructions, and country of origin per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent entry refusals
• Ensure no prohibited azo dyes or restricted chemicals in dyes; common pitfall is failing flammability tests for swimwear
