6307.10.20 - Other

This HTS classification, 6307.10.20, covers "Other" cleaning cloths that do not fall under the more specific sibling category of dustcloths, mop cloths, and polishing cloths of cotton (6307.10.10). The primary distinction lies in the exclusion of cotton-made dustcloths, mop cloths, and polishing cloths. This means that cloths made from materials other than cotton, or those that, while made of cotton, do not primarily function as dust, mop, or polishing cloths, will be classified here. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its use in cleaning applications, distinct from other made-up textile articles.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on specific end-use. These subcategories include items such as shop towels specifically designed and utilized in automotive environments like garages, filling stations, and machine shops, where durability and absorbency for grease and oil are paramount. Additionally, dish cloths, intended for cleaning dishes and kitchenware, represent another distinct group. The existence of these subcategories allows for a more precise classification of cleaning cloths based on their intended purpose and application.

The final subdivision, 6307.10.20.30 ("Other"), acts as a residual category for any cleaning cloths that meet the general criteria of this heading but do not fit into the more narrowly defined shop towel or dish cloth subcategories. This ensures comprehensive coverage for a wide array of cleaning textiles used in domestic or industrial settings, as long as they are not specifically classified elsewhere under this heading.
