Overview
This HTS classification covers "Perineal towels," which are specialized textile articles designed for use in postpartum care or surgical procedures involving the perineal area. These articles are typically absorbent and intended to manage fluid or provide protection. Their construction and purpose are specific to medical or personal hygiene applications within the perineal region.
While the broader category of "Other surgical drapes" encompasses a range of textile items used in surgical settings, this specific HTS code is distinguished by its focus on perineal towels, a particular type of absorbent article. The sibling category, 6307.90.60.90 ("Other"), would cover other made-up textile articles under the "Other surgical drapes" heading that do not specifically fit the definition of perineal towels.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 6307.90.60.10 is definitive for perineal towels, with no further breakdown at this level. The classification is based on the explicit function and common understanding of what constitutes a perineal towel within medical and hygiene contexts.
