9619.00.31.00 - Of knitted or crocheted textile fabric (239)

This HTS code, 9619.00.31.00, specifically classifies diapers (napkins), diaper liners, and similar articles when they are constructed from textile materials that are knitted or crocheted. This designation is crucial as it narrows down the scope within "Diapers of other textile materials" to those made from specific fabric constructions. The intent of this classification is to differentiate based on the textile manufacturing method, focusing on the looped structure characteristic of knitted or crocheted fabrics, as opposed to woven or non-woven textile materials.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9619.00.33.00 (Other), is paramount for accurate classification. While 9619.00.31.00 is exclusively for knitted or crocheted textile diapers and similar items, the "Other" category would encompass textile diapers and similar articles made from textile materials that are *not* knitted or crocheted. This could include items made from woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, or other textile constructions not falling under the knitted or crocheted definition.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is definitive at this level, meaning that any diaper, sanitary towel, tampon, or similar absorbent article made of knitted or crocheted textile materials, when categorized under "Diapers of other textile materials," will fall under this specific code. The key defining characteristic remains the construction of the textile fabric.
