9404.90.96.22 - With outer shell of man-made fibers (666)

This HTS classification, 9404.90.96.22, pertains to articles of bedding and similar furnishings that are neither spring-filled nor stuffed with cellular rubber or plastics. Specifically, this category encompasses items like quilts, eiderdowns, cushions, pouffes, and pillows that are internally fitted with materials other than cellular rubber or plastics, and importantly, possess an outer shell constructed from man-made fibers. The inclusion of the "(666)" designation further narrows the scope to those where the primary external textile component is of synthetic or artificial origin.

This subcategory is distinguished from its siblings by the material of the outer shell. While 9404.90.96.05 specifically covers similar articles with an outer shell of cotton, and other related lines may exist for different textile compositions, 9404.90.96.22 is reserved for those with an outer shell made exclusively from man-made fibers. This differentiation is critical for accurate customs reporting, as import duties and trade regulations can vary based on the textile composition of the goods.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 9404.90.96.22. Therefore, classification within this HTS code relies on the precise fulfillment of the defined criteria: being a bedding or furnishing article not primarily made of cellular rubber or plastics, and having an outer shell constructed from man-made fibers. Examples within this category might include synthetic down-filled duvets with polyester covers or synthetic fiber-filled pillows with nylon shells.
