Last updated: August 2026 dataWoven trousers, bib-and-brace overalls, breeches, and shorts for men and boys form one of the highest-volume categories in men's apparel imports, spanning workwear, denim, dress trousers, and casual shorts across a wide range of fiber types. Denim jeans — technically woven cotton trousers — are commercially the most significant subcategory, and their classification within this heading is determined by fabric construction (woven, not knitted) and fiber content. Importers sourcing from major apparel-producing countries should evaluate Section 301 tariff exposure and ensure that bib-and-brace overalls, which have a distinct design definition, are not misclassified as standard trousers.

Yes — denim jeans for men and boys are woven cotton trousers and classify within this heading. Dye color, wash treatment (stonewash, acid wash, etc.), or distressing do not affect the fundamental classification, though they may be relevant to value declaration. The key classification factors remain fiber content, woven construction, and whether the garment is designed for men or boys.
Bib-and-brace overalls are defined by their characteristic front bib panel and shoulder straps, distinguishing them from standard trousers that fasten at the waist. Both are captured within this heading, but they may fall under different 10-digit HTS lines with different duty rates. Importers of workwear or fashion overalls should confirm the correct subclassification based on garment design rather than simply declaring all lower-body garments as 'trousers.'
