9404.90.96.36 - Other (899)

This HTS classification, 9404.90.96.36, encompasses a broad range of miscellaneous stuffed furnishings that are not specifically covered by other categories within the 9404.90.96 heading. These items are characterized by their construction with an outer shell made of textile materials, excluding those specifically enumerated in preceding subcategories. The "Other (899)" designation indicates that this subcategory acts as a residual category for articles fitting the general description but not meeting the more precise material or composition requirements of other headings.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 9404.90.96.23, it is crucial to note the explicit material composition of the latter. 9404.90.96.23 specifically covers items containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Therefore, this current category, 9404.90.96.36, would cover similar stuffed furnishings, such as cushions, pillows, or pouffes, where the outer textile shell is composed of materials *other than* predominantly silk or silk waste. The classification hinges on the precise percentage and type of textile fiber used for the outer shell.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level requires a thorough examination of the article's construction and the materials used for its outer shell, ensuring it meets the general criteria for stuffed furnishings while not qualifying for more specific classifications based on silk content or other enumerated textile materials.
