6302.22.10.10 - Napped (666) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6302.22.10.10, specifically designates pillowcases that are "napped" and are part of the broader category of other printed bed linen made from man-made fibers, which also contain embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping, or applique work. The term "napped" refers to a finishing process that raises the fibers on the surface of the fabric, creating a soft, fuzzy texture. This textural characteristic is the defining feature of goods classified under this particular HTS code.

The critical distinction for this category lies in the "napped" surface finish. Its sibling category, 6302.22.10.20, covers pillowcases of the same material and construction but which are *not* napped. Therefore, for correct classification, it is essential to determine whether the pillowcase's fabric has undergone this napping process, resulting in a raised or fuzzy surface, or if it possesses a smooth, unfinished surface.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 6302.22.10.10. Classification at this level is final, meaning the specific criteria of being a pillowcase, made from man-made fibers, printed, containing embellishments, and importantly, having a napped finish, are sufficient for its identification. The category encompasses a precise set of finished textile articles intended for use as pillow coverings.
