Overview

This HTS category, 9619.00, encompasses a range of absorbent personal hygiene products and articles. It specifically includes sanitary pads (feminine hygiene towels), tampons, and disposable diapers (napkins) for infants and adults, as well as related items like diaper liners. The broad "similar articles" designation covers other absorbent products designed for personal hygiene or containment of bodily fluids, regardless of their specific form or function within this general purpose.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings involves recognizing the unique purpose of these items. Unlike raw materials, textiles, or finished goods for general household or industrial use found in other chapters, 9619.00 is dedicated to articles with a primary function of absorption and personal bodily care. For instance, while other chapters might classify textile materials, this chapter specifically addresses finished goods *made from* various materials that are designed for their absorbent properties in personal hygiene applications.

The subcategories within 9619.00 further refine classification based on the primary constituent material of these absorbent articles. Subdivisions exist for products primarily made of plastics, paper pulp, paper, cellulose wadding, or webs of cellulose fibers, each representing distinct manufacturing processes and material compositions. Additionally, the category distinguishes between diapers made from textile wadding versus those made from other textile materials, and includes a general "Other" category for any remaining items that fit the general description but do not fall into the more specific material-based subdivisions. This granular approach ensures accurate duty assessment and statistical tracking.
