6302.21.50.40 - Pillowcovers (369)

This HTS category, 6302.21.50.40, specifically covers pillowcases that are made up textile articles, printed, of cotton, and containing any embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping, or appliqué work, and are not napped. These are distinct from other bed linen items within the broader 6302 heading.

Within the "Other bed linen, printed, of cotton, containing any embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping or applique work, not napped" framework, this particular code differentiates itself from its siblings. It is distinct from pillowcases, other than bolster cases (6302.21.50.10), sheets (6302.21.50.20), and bolster cases (6302.21.50.30) by its specific function as a covering for pillows. The "Other" category (6302.21.50.50) would encompass any remaining items within this level of detail that do not fit the specific definitions of pillowcases, bolster cases, or sheets.

As a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under this HTS code. Therefore, classification into 6302.21.50.40 relies on meeting all the preceding criteria: being a printed, cotton textile article categorized as other bed linen, featuring decorative elements like embroidery or lace, and not being a napped fabric, while specifically being a pillowcover.
