6310.10.20.10 - Of cotton

This HTS classification, 6310.10.20.10, specifically covers sorted rags, scrap twine, cordage, rope, cables, and worn-out articles of these textile materials that are made *of cotton*. These items are characterized by their condition of being used, discarded, or no longer fit for their original purpose. The key criterion for inclusion in this subcategory is the predominant textile fiber content, which must be cotton.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6310.10.20.20 falls under man-made fibers, while 6310.10.20.30 encompasses any other textile materials not specifically cotton or man-made fibers. Therefore, the material composition is the sole differentiator at this level of classification. If an item is a rag or scrap of twine, cordage, rope, or cable, its classification within the "Other" sorted category hinges directly on whether it is primarily composed of cotton.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 6310.10.20.10. This means that once an item is identified as sorted rags, scrap, or worn-out textile cordage/cables of cotton, it is definitively classified here. Examples would include cotton rags destined for industrial cleaning purposes, shredded cotton rope, or salvaged cotton twines.
