6302.51.40.00 - Other (369)

This HTS category, specifically 6302.51.40.00, encompasses "Other" made-up textile articles intended for table use, which are not tablecloths or napkins. It includes a broad range of textile items designed for the table that do not fit into the more specific subcategories. Examples of goods classified here might include table runners, placemats (if not explicitly covered by another heading), doilies not primarily serving a decorative function outside of table setting, and other specialized table linens made of cotton.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, "Tablecloths and napkins" (6302.51.20.00), is crucial. While both fall under "Other table linen" of cotton, this current classification is for items that are not the primary covering for a table (tablecloths) or used for wiping the mouth or hands during a meal (napkins). The focus here is on items that supplement the table setting in ways other than these core functions.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6302.51.40.00 relies heavily on the explicit exclusion of goods that fit the description of tablecloths and napkins, as well as adherence to the broader definition of "other table linen" within the context of made-up textile articles. Importers should ensure that the cotton textile articles in question are indeed intended for table use and do not fall under more specific classifications within Chapter 63 or other chapters.
