6302.21.30 - Napped

This HTS classification covers bed linen made of cotton that is printed and features a napped finish. A napped finish is a process where the surface fibers of the textile are raised to create a soft, fuzzy texture. Therefore, items classified under 6302.21.30 are specifically cotton bed linens that have undergone this napping process and are also printed.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6302.21.50, by the presence of the napped finish. While both are printed cotton bed linens, 6302.21.50 specifically refers to those that are *not* napped, meaning they possess a smoother surface texture. The inclusion of "napped" is the sole differentiator at this level.

Within this napped category, further subdivisions exist to specify the exact type of bed linen. These subcategories include pillowcases (excluding bolster cases), sheets, bolster cases, and pillowcovers. A catch-all "Other" category is also provided for bed linens that do not fit into the preceding specific types, allowing for comprehensive classification of all napped, printed cotton bed linens.
