4818.20.00.40 - Other

This HTS category, 4818.20.00.40, encompasses "Other" handkerchiefs, cleansing tissues, and towels that fall within the broader scope of Chapter 48. These are articles made from paper pulp, paper, cellulose wadding, or webs of cellulose fibers, specifically intended for household or sanitary purposes, and are often found in smaller, portable formats. The key is their application in personal hygiene and household cleaning.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4818.20.00.20 (Towels), is crucial. While both relate to absorbent paper products, this "Other" category specifically includes items like facial tissues and personal cleansing tissues. The sibling category is reserved for articles primarily defined by their function as traditional towels, often for drying purposes, and may differ in absorbency, size, or construction. The distinction hinges on the specific end-use and the common understanding of the product.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification under 4818.20.00.40 rests on identifying items that fit the description of handkerchiefs, cleansing tissues, or facial tissues, and are not specifically classified under a more precise heading or subheading, ensuring they align with the material and end-use requirements of the parent category.
