6303.99.00.60 - Other (899)

This HTS category, 6303.99.00.60, covers a broad range of made-up textile articles primarily used for interior decor, specifically curtains and interior blinds, along with their associated valances. These items are made from textile materials other than those specified in preceding subheadings. The "Other (899)" designation signifies that this is a residual category for articles not otherwise classified under specific material types within the curtains and blinds section.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6303.99.00.30, is crucial. The sibling category specifically addresses curtains and blinds that are composed of 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Therefore, 6303.99.00.60 encompasses all other curtains, drapes, interior blinds, and valances that do not meet this silk content threshold and are not made from other specifically enumerated textile materials at the preceding levels. This includes items made from synthetic fibers, cotton, linen, wool, or blends where silk is not the predominant component.

As this node represents a leaf category within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 6303.99.00.60 is determined by the exclusion of goods from more specific classifications, provided they meet the general description of curtains, drapes, interior blinds, or valances and are not predominantly of silk. Practical classification relies on verifying the material composition and ensuring the item's primary function aligns with decorative window coverings or bed valances.
