6302.21.70 - Napped

This HTS category, 6302.21.70, specifically covers other printed bed linen made of cotton that is napped. Napping refers to a finishing process that raises the fiber ends on the surface of the fabric, creating a soft, fuzzy texture. Therefore, items classified here are cotton bed linens, which are printed and have undergone this napping treatment to enhance their feel and warmth.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6302.21.90, which covers printed cotton bed linen that is *not* napped. The key differentiator is the presence of the napped finish. Both fall under the broader umbrella of other printed bed linen of cotton, but the surface treatment is the deciding factor for their separate classification.

Within this napped category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. These subcategories differentiate based on the specific type of bed linen item, such as pillowcases, sheets, bolster cases, and pillow covers. A residual "Other" category exists to capture any napped printed cotton bed linen items that do not fit into the more specific subheadings.
