6302.31.70.10 - Pillowcases, other than bolster cases (360)

This HTS classification, 6302.31.70.10, specifically designates pillowcases that are not bolster cases and are made from cotton. Within the broader category of "Other bed linen" of cotton, this subcategory distinguishes itself by its intended use and form factor. The term "pillowcase" in this context refers to a cover designed to encase a standard pillow, protecting it and serving as a decorative element for the bedding ensemble.

It is crucial to differentiate this classification from its siblings. While 6302.31.70.20 covers sheets, 6302.31.70.30 exclusively identifies bolster cases, which are typically longer and narrower than standard pillowcases. Furthermore, 6302.31.70.40 refers to pillowcovers, a term that might encompass more decorative or specialized pillow coverings, and 6302.31.70.50 is a residual category for other bed linen of cotton not otherwise specified. This specific classification focuses narrowly on the common pillow covering.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 6302.31.70.10. Therefore, the classification is considered definitive for cotton pillowcases that are not bolster cases. Practical classification will rely on confirming the textile material (cotton) and the distinct form and purpose of the article as a cover for a standard pillow.
