6302.39.00 - Of other textile materials

This HTS category, 6302.39.00, encompasses bed linen crafted from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. This includes items such as sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and bedspreads made from materials like linen, silk, wool, or other fine animal hair, as well as blends where the predominant fiber content falls outside of cotton and man-made fibers. The defining characteristic for classification within this heading is the material composition of the finished textile article.

This category serves as a residual classification for bed linen that does not fit into the more specific headings for cotton (6302.31) or man-made fibers (6302.32). Therefore, if a bed linen item is predominantly composed of natural fibers like flax or silk, or animal fibers such as wool or cashmere, and is not primarily cotton or synthetic/artificial fiber, it will be classified here. The distinction hinges on the precise identification and proportion of the constituent textile fibers.

Further subdivisions exist to refine the classification of these "other" textile materials. For instance, within this category, there are provisions for bed linen made specifically of wool or fine animal hair, such as 6302.39.00.10. This hierarchical structure allows for more granular tariff application based on the specific type of "other" textile material, acknowledging the distinct properties and potential tariff treatment associated with different natural fiber types beyond cotton and common man-made fibers.
