6302.53.00.20 - Other (666)

This HTS classification, 6302.53.00.20, specifically designates "Other" table linen crafted from man-made fibers, which are neither damask nor embroidered. It encompasses a broad range of table linen items such as table runners, placemats, and other decorative or functional pieces for the dining table that do not fit into more specific subheadings. The key defining characteristic is the material composition being exclusively man-made fibers, and the absence of damask weave or decorative embroidery.

This category serves as a residual classification for table linen of man-made fibers that do not meet the specific criteria for damask tablecloths and napkins. While the sibling category, 6302.53.00.10, is dedicated to damask patterns, this HTS code covers all other table linen made from synthetic or artificial fibers. The classification relies on the weave structure and any embellishments to differentiate these categories.

As a leaf node in the HTS, 6302.53.00.20 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, its scope is precisely defined by its exclusion of damask and embroidery, and its inclusion of all other table linen articles made from man-made fibers intended for use at the table. Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods classified here are indeed made from materials like polyester, nylon, acrylic, or rayon, and lack the specific characteristics of damask or embroidery.
