6213.20.10.00 - Hemmed, not containing lace or embroidery (330)

This HTS category, 6213.20.10.00, specifically classifies handkerchiefs made of cotton that are hemmed and do not contain any lace or embroidery. These are typically individual pieces of fabric intended for personal use for wiping the face or nose, distinguished by their finished edges (hems) and the absence of decorative elements like lace or embroidery.

At this level of classification, the primary distinction is based on ornamentation. While this subheading covers hemmed cotton handkerchiefs without lace or embroidery, its sibling category, 6213.20.20.00, covers "Other" handkerchiefs of cotton. This implies that the sibling category would encompass hemmed cotton handkerchiefs that *do* contain lace or embroidery, or potentially unhemmed cotton handkerchiefs, though the latter is less common for this product type.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a cotton handkerchief will definitively fall under either this specific subheading or its sibling, based solely on the presence or absence of lace or embroidery, and the presence of a hem. The "330" notation within the description likely refers to an internal reference or annotation within the HTS database, not a sub-classification.
