Overview
This HTS subheading, 9619.00.15.60, is designated for "Other" articles within the broader category of sanitary pads, tampons, diapers, and similar items made from paper, cellulose wadding, or webs of cellulose fibers. It serves as a residual classification for products fitting the general description and material composition but not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings at this level.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS 9619.00.15.10 specifically covers sanitary napkins and tampons, while HTS 9619.00.15.30 encompasses diapers and diaper liners. Therefore, 9619.00.15.60 applies to paper-based absorbent articles that are neither sanitary napkins/tampons nor traditional diapers/liners. Examples might include specialized disposable underpads for medical use or other absorbent paper products designed for personal hygiene or protection, provided they meet the material requirements of the parent category.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this subheading relies on ensuring the product is indeed made of paper, cellulose wadding, or cellulose fiber webs, serves a purpose akin to personal hygiene or absorption, and is not otherwise specified under the more granular sibling categories.
