6302.59.10.10 - Damask (899)

This HTS category, 6302.59.10.10, specifically classifies damask tablecloths and napkins. Damask is characterized by its intricate woven patterns, often created by contrasting warp and weft threads that result in a lustrous, reversible design. These items are intended for use as table linen, distinguishing them from other made-up textile articles.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 6302.59.10.20 "Other," which would cover table linen of other textile materials (not of flax) that are not damask. The material composition (flax) and the specific weave construction (damask) are the key differentiating factors for this sub-heading.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under this code requires a thorough examination of the product's material to ensure it is primarily composed of flax, and its construction method to confirm it is a damask weave, for use as a tablecloth or napkin. The defining feature of damask, its patterned weave, is paramount for correct classification here.
