6302.91.00 - Of cotton

This category encompasses a variety of made-up textile articles not specifically covered elsewhere in heading 6302, but made exclusively from cotton. This includes items such as kitchen linen (e.g., dishcloths, tea towels), toilet linen (e.g., hand towels, face cloths), and other household linens intended for personal or domestic use, provided their primary component is cotton. The key defining characteristic for classification within 6302.91 is the exclusive use of cotton as the textile material.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS code 6302.93 covers similar made-up textile articles that are, in contrast, manufactured from man-made fibers. Similarly, 6302.99 is reserved for articles made of other textile materials, such as silk, wool, or vegetable fibers (excluding cotton). Therefore, the material composition is the primary determinant for differentiating between these categories.

Within 6302.91, further distinctions are made based on the construction of the textile article. The subcategories differentiate between items that are of pile or tufted construction, which would include items with a raised surface like certain types of towels or bath mats, and "other" constructions. This allows for a more granular classification based on the manufacturing technique and resulting texture or appearance of the cotton-based linen.
