🎯 Classification Logic

Basis
Core classification basis: 1) The product must be made by knitting or crocheting, not woven; 2) Must be men's trousers, excluding women's or children's trousers; 3) Material must be synthetic fibres, including synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, etc.) and artificial fibers (such as viscose, etc.), but excluding natural fibers such as cotton, wool, linen; 4) Trousers include all types of trousers, breeches, but excluding swimwear. Only when all the above conditions are met simultaneously, it is classified under 610343.
