6308.00.00 - Needlecraft sets consisting of woven fabric and yarn, whether or not with accessories, for making up into rugs, tapestries, embroidered tablecloths or napkins, or similar textile articles, put up in packings for retail sale

This HTS category, 6308.00.00, specifically covers needlecraft sets designed for the creation of textile articles. These sets are characterized by the inclusion of both woven fabric and yarn, and may also contain additional accessories. The intended purpose of these sets is the production of items such as rugs, tapestries, embroidered tablecloths, napkins, or similar decorative and functional textile pieces. Crucially, the items must be presented in packaging suitable for retail sale as a complete kit.

Within Section XI, which deals with Textile and Textile Articles, Chapter 63 focuses on "Other made up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags." While other categories in Chapter 63 might include finished textile articles or raw materials, 6308.00.00 is distinguished by its focus on *sets* for crafting. It is differentiated from raw materials (like just fabric or just yarn) and from finished textile products by the combination of components and the explicit purpose of creating a specific textile article through needlecraft.

The subcategories within 6308.00.00 allow for further refinement based on the material composition of the yarn. Subcategory 6308.00.00.10 specifically addresses sets containing wool yarn, while 6308.00.00.20 encompasses all other sets not falling under the wool yarn classification. This distinction is important for trade statistics and potential tariff rate variations based on material content.
