The tariff classification of pants from China
Issued June 12, 2019 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Tariff classification
HTS codes: 6113.00.1012
Headings: 6113
Product description
The front panels are composed of 100% polyester knit fabric that has been completely obscured by a 100% polyurethane cellular plastic material. The back panels are constructed of 66% rayon, 29% nylon, and 5% spandex knit fabric. The pants are unlined and feature an elasticized waistband, and have three inch slits at each hemmed leg opening. The essential character is imparted by the front panels. Although the garment is composed of cellular plastic material, the backing is used in lieu of a lining for comfort and therefore, used for more than mere reinforcement. As a result, the pants are considered made of a fabric of heading 5903.
