6307.90.89.45 - Pillow shells, of cotton (369)

This HTS classification, 6307.90.89.45, specifically covers pillow shells made of cotton. These are unfinished or finished textile casings designed to contain and protect pillows. The key defining characteristic for this category is the material composition, which must be cotton, and the intended use as a shell for a pillow.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 6307.90.89.10 covers surgical towels, and 6307.90.89.40 pertains to cotton towels of pile or tufted construction, this classification is narrowly focused on pillow coverings. Furthermore, it is distinct from other textile shells found under 6307.90.89, such as those intended for quilts, eiderdowns, comforters, and similar bedding articles.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific HTS code. Classification at this level is determined by the precise nature of the product being a pillow shell, its construction from cotton, and its exclusion from the definitions of the sibling categories.
