6302.91.00.05 - Dish (369) 🖩

This HTS classification covers specific types of dishcloths manufactured from cotton and constructed using a pile or tufted technique. These items are distinguished by their absorbent and textured surface, which is achieved through the raised loops or tufts of cotton yarn. Examples within this category include kitchen towels designed for wiping dishes, countertops, and other household surfaces, where absorbency and a gentle scrubbing action are desired.

While the broader category of "Towels" under 6302.91.00 encompasses various types of cotton towels, this specific sub-heading focuses exclusively on those with a pile or tufted construction. It differentiates from sibling categories by the method of textile construction. For instance, a woven cotton dishcloth with a flat weave would not fall under this classification, even if used for similar purposes, as it lacks the characteristic pile or tufted structure.

As this node is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 6302.91.00.05 relies on confirming that the article is indeed a dishcloth, made of cotton, and constructed with a pile or tufted weave. The primary function as a kitchen or dish-wiping article is crucial for accurate classification.
