What decides the code
Knitted sweatpants are classified as trousers in heading 6103 for men or boys and heading 6104 for women or girls, split by fiber content.
- Gender decides the heading: men's sweatpants fall in heading 6103, women's sweatpants fall in heading 6104.
- Fiber content decides the subheading: cotton sweatpants take 6103.42.10.20 or 6104.62.20.11, polyester sweatpants take 6103.43.15.20 or 6104.63.20.11.
- Knitted construction places the garment in heading 6103 or 6104 as trousers, so a woven pair would move to a different heading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying cotton sweatpants under 6103.43.15.20 or 6104.63.20.11 is wrong because those lines cover synthetic fibers, not cotton.
- Classifying women's sweatpants under 6103.42.10.20 or 6103.43.15.20 is wrong because heading 6103 covers men's or boys' garments only.
- Classifying sweatpants as shorts or swimwear is wrong because the garment covers the full leg and is not swimwear.
