Overview
This HTS category, 9619.00.15.30, specifically covers diapers and diaper liners. These items are designed for absorbent sanitary purposes, primarily for infants and adults experiencing incontinence, and are characterized by their construction from paper, cellulose wadding, or webs of cellulose fibers. The focus is on the finished product's function as a disposable absorbent garment or insert.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial. While 9619.00.15.10 encompasses sanitary napkins and tampons, which are designed for menstrual hygiene, and 9619.00.15.60 includes other miscellaneous absorbent articles not otherwise specified, 9619.00.15.30 is exclusively for diapers and their associated liners. The key differentiator lies in the specific intended use and form factor of the product, with diapers being full garments and liners being inserts to supplement absorbency or protection within a garment.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under this heading relies on confirming that the article in question is indeed a diaper or diaper liner and is manufactured from paper, cellulose wadding, or webs of cellulose fibers, aligning with the specific material requirements outlined in the parent category.
