6303.12.00.10 - Window shades and window blinds (666)

This HTS category, 6303.12.00.10, specifically covers window shades and window blinds that are knitted or crocheted and made from synthetic fibers. These articles are designed for installation within or over window openings to control light, privacy, and temperature. Examples include roller blinds, Roman blinds, and pleated shades constructed from knitted or crocheted fabrics composed entirely or predominantly of synthetic yarns such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6303.12.00.90 "Other," is crucial. While both fall under "Knitted or crocheted" and "Of synthetic fibers" within the broader "Curtains (including drapes) and interior blinds; curtain or bed valances" heading, this specific subcategory applies to articles classified as "window shades and window blinds." The sibling category, therefore, would encompass other knitted or crocheted synthetic fiber textile articles that are made up but do not fit the definition of a window shade or blind, potentially including decorative valances or other related soft furnishings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is definitive at this level, meaning that an item meeting the criteria of being a knitted or crocheted window shade or blind made of synthetic fibers is classified precisely here. The emphasis for classification at this point relies heavily on the article's function as a window covering and its construction method and material composition.
