Overview

This HTS category, 9404.90.81.00, specifically covers bedding and similar stuffed furnishings that are primarily made of cotton. Critically, these items must not incorporate any embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping exceeding 6.35 mm in width, or applique work. This detailed exclusion is a key differentiator for this classification, focusing on plain cotton constructions for items such as pillows, cushions, and other stuffed furnishings.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9404.90.96, lies in the specific material composition and embellishment restrictions. While 9404.90.96, designated as "Other," likely captures a broader range of cotton bedding and furnishings that *may* contain these decorative elements or be made from different materials altogether, 9404.90.81.00 is reserved for the plainest of cotton articles, free from such adornments.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on meeting the described criteria: the item must be a bedding or furnishing article, predominantly of cotton, and completely devoid of any embroidery, lace, braid, significant piping, or applique work. This precise definition ensures that only the most basic cotton-filled or stuffed items fall under this specific code.
