6302.59.10 - Tablecloths and napkins

This HTS category encompasses tablecloths and napkins that are not specifically classified under other material types. To fall within this classification, the items must be made from textile materials other than flax, which are covered under a separate sibling category. The intent and use of these articles as table linen are the primary determining factors.

The key differentiator for this classification lies in the material composition. Sibling categories, such as 6302.59.20, exist for "other" table linen that may not fit the precise material specifications implied or explicitly stated elsewhere in the nomenclature. Therefore, careful examination of the textile fibers constituting the tablecloths and napkins is crucial for accurate classification here.

Within this "other textile materials" grouping, a further subdivision exists to distinguish between specific types of table linen. The subcategories, 6302.59.10.10 (Damask) and 6302.59.10.20 (Other), allow for more granular classification based on fabric weave and construction. This distinction enables users to pinpoint the exact type of table linen, facilitating more precise import and export procedures.
