6307.10.20.28 - Other (863) 🖩

This HTS category, 6307.10.20.28, encompasses "other" dish cloths that do not fall under the specific subcategory for cotton dish cloths. It is intended for dish cloths made from textile materials other than cotton, which are designed and constructed for cleaning dishes and tableware. These items are characterized by their absorbency and abrasive properties, tailored for effective removal of food residue.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6307.10.20.27 (Of cotton), is the primary material of manufacture. While cotton dish cloths are classified under the sibling node, this category applies to dish cloths made from synthetic fibers (such as polyester or microfiber), blends of synthetic fibers with cotton (where cotton is not the predominant fiber by weight), or other textile materials. The construction methods, such as weaving, knitting, or non-woven processes, are also relevant but the defining factor remains the material composition when differentiating from cotton variants.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories for dish cloths. Therefore, the primary focus for classification within 6307.10.20.28 is on confirming that the article is indeed a dish cloth intended for cleaning purposes and that it is not predominantly made of cotton. Classification decisions will rely on the examination of the textile composition and the functional purpose of the item.
