The garment features an enclosed elasticized waistband with a drawstring, two zippered side pockets, a zippered back pocket, a side patch pocket made of net and hemmed leg bottoms. The garment also features an internal short sewn to the waistband. This liner is made of a knit polyester mesh with 2 inch spandex band sewn to the top of the hem of the liner and a padded crotch and seat. The identical short will be imported as style 005-0694 in tall sizes. The applicable subheading for styles 005-0694 and 005-0693 will be 6203.42.4050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts: of cotton: other: other, shorts: mens.

Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa. The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.
