6302.32.10.20 - Not napped (666) 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 6302.32.10.20, specifically classifies pillowcases made from man-made fibers that do not feature napped surfaces and contain embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping, or applique work. These are distinct from standard pillowcases in that the decorative elements are integral to their construction or applied ornamentation. The "not napped" designation refers to the fabric's surface treatment, excluding those with a raised, fuzzy finish.

The primary distinction from its sibling, 6302.32.10.10, lies in the surface treatment of the fabric. While both cover pillowcases of man-made fibers with embellishments, the sibling category is reserved for those made with napped fabric. This difference in fabric finish is a crucial factor for accurate customs classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 6302.32.10.20. Therefore, the focus remains on thoroughly defining the scope of this specific classification, ensuring that only pillowcases meeting all the described criteria – man-made fiber, not napped, and embellished – are assigned to this code. Examples include pillowcases with intricate embroidery patterns stitched onto the fabric or those adorned with lace trim along the opening.
