9619.00.64.00 - Of man-made fibers

This HTS category, 9619.00.64.00, specifically covers sanitary pads (towels), tampons, diapers (napkins), diaper liners, and similar absorbent articles that are manufactured from man-made fibers and are either knitted or crocheted. The "of man-made fibers" designation is crucial, encompassing a broad range of synthetic or regenerated cellulose materials that form the absorbent core, outer cover, or other structural components of these hygiene products.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 9619.00.61.00, by the material composition. While 9619.00.61.00 is reserved for similar articles made from cotton, 9619.00.64.00 exclusively pertains to those articles where man-made fibers are the primary or defining material. It also differs from the "Other" sibling category (9619.00.68.00) by its specific material requirement.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is determined by the combination of the article's function (sanitary protection, absorption), its construction (knitted or crocheted), and its material composition (man-made fibers). Importers should carefully verify the fiber content of their products to ensure accurate classification under this specific subheading.
