6302.51.20.00 - Plain woven (369)

This HTS code, 6302.51.20.00, pertains to other table linen, specifically those that are "plain woven" and not elsewhere specified. The core items within this classification are generally articles used for adorning or covering dining tables and related surfaces, such as placemats, runners, and potentially smaller decorative cloths, provided they meet the "plain woven" fabric criterion and are not specifically designated under other headings. The emphasis is on their function in a table setting and their construction from plain woven cotton textiles.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6302.51.30.00, which also covers "other" table linen of cotton but does not specify the "plain woven" construction. While both fall under "other table linen" of cotton, the "plain woven" designation in 6302.51.20.00 imposes a stricter criterion on the fabric's weave. This means that articles with different weave types, such as twill or satin, would likely fall under the broader "other" category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this level, meaning that the defining characteristics are the item's use as table linen, its cotton composition, and its plain woven construction. When classifying items, customs officials will confirm these attributes to ensure accurate placement within this specific tariff line.
