6302.21.50.10 - Pillowcases, other than bolster cases (360)

This classification pertains to pillowcases, specifically those not considered bolster cases, that are made up textile articles. They fall under the broader category of other bed linen, printed, and are further defined as being of cotton and containing embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping, or applique work, while not being napped. The inclusion of these decorative elements is a key defining characteristic.

This specific classification distinguishes pillowcases from other related bed linens such as sheets (6302.21.50.20), bolster cases (6302.21.50.30), and general pillowcovers (6302.21.50.40). While all are bed linen and potentially of cotton with decorative work, the critical distinction for this code lies in the specific item being a pillowcase and the absence of napping, coupled with the presence of specified decorative embellishments. The "Other" category (6302.21.50.50) serves as a residual for any other printed, cotton bed linen with decorative work that doesn't fit the more specific descriptions.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying pillowcases that meet all the preceding criteria: being printed bed linen of cotton, featuring embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping, or applique work, and not being napped. The absence of further subdivisions means that the classification is determined solely by the fulfillment of these descriptive and material attributes.
