About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This category, HTS Code 5601.21.00.90, covers "Other" wadding of cotton. This designation specifically applies to cotton wadding that does not fit the description of the sibling category, 5601.21.00.10, which is exclusively for wadding presented "in the piece." Therefore, this sub-category encompasses cotton wadding that is not in a continuous, uniform length or width, but rather in other forms.

Examples of goods that would fall under this classification include loose cotton fibers prepared for use as wadding, pre-cut shapes of cotton wadding, or pre-formed cotton wadding products that are not presented as a continuous piece. The key differentiator from its sibling is the form and presentation of the wadding, not the material itself, which remains exclusively cotton.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific HTS code. Classification into this category is therefore determined by the material being cotton wadding and its presentation not being "in the piece," thus fulfilling the "other" designation.
