6302.53.00.10 - Damask (666)

This HTS classification covers damask table linen, specifically tablecloths and napkins, that are manufactured from man-made fibers. The term "damask" refers to a reversible woven fabric characterized by intricate patterns that are created through a complex weaving process, often resulting in a lustrous sheen. This category is intended for such articles used in domestic or commercial settings for dining purposes, excluding those specifically classified elsewhere.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6302.53.00.20 "Other," is crucial. While both fall under "Of man-made fibers" and "Other table linen," this specific subheading is reserved solely for damask patterns. The sibling category encompasses all other table linen made from man-made fibers that do not feature the intricate, reversible woven patterns characteristic of damask. Therefore, the defining criterion for inclusion here is the specific weave and resulting pattern of the fabric, not just its material composition or general use.

As a leaf node, 6302.53.00.10 does not have further subcategories. Classification within this heading hinges on the affirmative identification of the fabric as damask, its construction from man-made fibers, and its intended use as tablecloths or napkins. This designation ensures accurate tariff application for these specific types of fine woven table linen.
