9404.40.90.36 - Other (899)

This HTS classification, 9404.40.90.36, pertains to quilts, bedspreads, eiderdowns, and duvets where the outer shell is constructed from textile materials other than those specified in the preceding subcategories. Essentially, this designation captures a broad range of bedding articles that do not meet the specific material criteria of other categories within 9404.40.90.

To differentiate this category from its sibling, 9404.40.90.23, it is crucial to note the primary material of the outer shell. While 9404.40.90.23 is exclusively for items containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, 9404.40.90.36 encompasses all other textile materials for the outer shell. This includes, but is not limited to, cotton, synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, linen, or blends thereof, as long as they do not meet the specific silk threshold of the sibling category.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 9404.40.90.36 hinges on a thorough examination of the outer shell's textile composition, ensuring it does not qualify for more specific classifications based on material content, particularly silk. This category serves as a residual classification for bedding articles with outer shells of various textile materials.
