6306.40.49.00 - Of other textile materials

This classification, "Of other textile materials," specifically encompasses pneumatic mattresses that are not predominantly made of cotton. It covers inflatable mattresses constructed from a range of synthetic or man-made textile materials, such as polyester, nylon, vinyl-coated fabrics, or blends where cotton is not the principal component by weight. These articles are designed for recreational use, such as camping or temporary bedding, and are characterized by their inflatable nature to provide cushioning and support.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6306.40.41.00 (Of cotton), is the material composition of the textile. While both fall under the broader heading of pneumatic mattresses within the category of tents, sails, and camping goods, this subcategory specifically excludes those where cotton is the primary textile material. Therefore, classification here is determined by identifying the dominant textile fiber used in the mattress's construction.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 6306.40.49.00 is final when the pneumatic mattress is not made of cotton and falls within the scope of Section XI, Chapter 63, pertaining to other made-up textile articles. Examples of items classified here include inflatable airbeds for camping made from PVC-coated polyester or nylon.
