6302.22.10.40 - Not napped (666)

This HTS category, 6302.22.10.40, specifically covers printed bed linen manufactured from man-made fibers, which is *not napped*. This includes items such as sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers that are adorned with printed designs and are not brushed or raised on the surface to create a soft texture. The classification is narrowed further by the requirement that these items must contain embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping, or applique work, indicating a decorative embellishment beyond simple printing.

To differentiate this category from its sibling, 6302.22.10.30, the key distinction lies in the finishing process of the fabric. While both fall under printed bed linen of man-made fibers with embellishments, this category is for *non-napped* materials, meaning the fabric retains its original smooth surface. The sibling category, conversely, is for *napped* textiles, where the fabric has undergone a process to raise the fibers, creating a soft, fuzzy texture.

As this HTS code is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification concludes at this specific point, defining precisely the criteria of printed, non-napped, man-made fiber bed linen with decorative embellishments, intended for use in bedding. Careful consideration of the fabric's finishing (napped vs. not napped) and the presence of specific decorative elements is crucial for accurate classification under this subheading.
