6302.39.00.20 - Containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This HTS classification, 6302.39.00.20, specifically designates bed linen that is primarily composed of silk or silk waste, meaning it contains 85 percent or more by weight of these luxurious silk materials. This category falls under "Other bed linen" and "Of other textile materials" within the broader context of made-up textile articles. Therefore, it encompasses items such as sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and other bedding components where the dominant fiber content is silk.

It is crucial to distinguish this specific classification from its sibling category, 6302.39.00.30, which also falls under "Other bed linen" and "Of other textile materials" but is designated for bed linen composed of textile materials *other than* silk or silk waste, or where silk is present but does not meet the 85 percent weight threshold. The defining characteristic for 6302.39.00.20 is the high silk content, which significantly influences the material's feel, drape, and value.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. Classification at this level is determined solely by the material composition, focusing on bed linen articles where silk is the predominant constituent by weight. Importers and exporters must carefully verify the fiber content of their silk bed linen to ensure accurate classification and compliance with customs regulations.
