Overview
This HTS classification, 9619.00.11.00, specifically covers sanitary pads (towels) and tampons, diapers (napkins), diaper liners, and similar articles, where the primary absorbent material is derived from paper pulp. These products are designed for personal hygiene and absorption purposes, relying on the inherent properties of processed paper pulp for their functionality.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While all fall under the broader heading for absorbent sanitary articles, 9619.00.11.00 is exclusively for those constructed with paper pulp. This differentiates it from articles made primarily of plastics (9619.00.05.00), those made of paper, cellulose wadding, or webs of cellulose fibers where the distinction might be more nuanced regarding the specific form of cellulose material (9619.00.15), and those made from textile wadding or other textile materials, which have their own distinct subheadings.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within 9619.00.11.00. Therefore, classification decisions at this level hinge entirely on confirming that the primary absorbent component of the article is indeed paper pulp, distinguishing it clearly from the alternative material bases covered by its sibling categories.
