Overview
This HTS category, 6302.21, specifically classifies bed linen articles made of cotton that are printed. This includes items such as bed sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and fitted sheets, provided they are primarily composed of cotton and feature printed designs. The "printed" aspect is a key determinant for inclusion within this subcategory.
To distinguish this from its sibling categories, it is crucial to focus on the material composition. HTS 6302.22 covers similar printed bed linen made from man-made fibers, while 6302.29.00 encompasses printed bed linen constructed from other textile materials, such as linen, silk, or wool. Therefore, the defining characteristic for classification under 6302.21 is the presence of cotton as the primary textile material.
Within this category, further classification depends on whether the printed cotton bed linen contains any embellishments. Subcategories exist to differentiate between items that are "Containing any embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping or applique work" and those that are "Other," meaning they are printed cotton bed linen without such decorative additions. This distinction allows for a more granular categorization of printed cotton bedding based on its construction and finishing.
