6302.29.00 - Of other textile materials

This HTS category, 6302.29.00, encompasses "other bed linen, printed, of other textile materials." It is designed to classify printed bed linens that are not primarily composed of cotton or man-made fibers. Examples include printed sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and bedspreads made from materials such as silk, wool, linen, or blends where cotton and man-made fibers are not the dominant components. The "printed" aspect is a crucial identifier, distinguishing these items from unprinted bed linens within the broader Chapter 63.

The primary distinction of 6302.29.00 from its sibling categories, 6302.21 (of cotton) and 6302.22 (of man-made fibers), lies in the material composition. If a printed bed linen is predominantly made of cotton, it would fall under 6302.21. Similarly, if man-made fibers constitute the primary material, classification would be under 6302.22. This category serves as a residual for printed bed linens made from textile materials that do not fit into those specific classifications.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification based on specific material compositions. Subcategory 6302.29.00.10 specifically addresses printed bed linens containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, recognizing the distinct value and characteristics of silk. The residual subcategory, 6302.29.00.20, covers all other printed bed linens of other textile materials that do not meet the criteria for the silk-specific subdivision.
