Last updated: August 2026 dataCotton knit trousers, shorts, bib overalls, and breeches for men and boys represent one of the most widely traded apparel categories in US import statistics, with Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bangladesh collectively accounting for the bulk of supply — a sourcing concentration that reflects Southeast Asia's dominant position in cotton knit bottom-weight garment manufacturing. The US schedule is unusually granular, separating men's trousers (6103421020), boys' trousers by import-parts-of-playsuits status (6103421035 and 6103421040), men's shorts (6103421050), boys' shorts (6103421065 and 6103421070), and insulated versus non-insulated overalls across multiple size ranges. Textile visa requirements and quota monitoring apply depending on origin.

Lines 6103421035 and 6103421065 cover boys' trousers and shorts that are imported as component parts of playsuits — coordinated sets where the bottom is sold or entered together with a matching top as a single article. These are carved out because the commercial and duty treatment of a playsuit component can differ from a standalone bottom. Importers should confirm whether the garment is entered as part of a set or as a separate article, as this affects which 10-digit line applies.
Line 6103422010 covers insulated overalls for both men and boys, while 6103422015 and 6103422025 cover non-insulated boys' overalls split by size range (sizes 2–7 versus other sizes). Insulation — typically a quilted or padded inner layer — must be present in the garment construction itself, not merely a thick fabric. Importers should obtain construction specifications confirming the presence or absence of an insulating layer, as the distinction affects the applicable tariff line and associated duty rate.
