9619.00.74.00 - Of man-made fibers

This HTS classification, 9619.00.74.00, specifically designates sanitary pads (towels) and tampons, diapers (napkins), diaper liners, and similar absorbent articles when they are composed *of man-made fibers*. These are absorbent hygiene products designed for personal care and are manufactured using synthetic materials as their primary fiber component.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 9619.00.71.00, which covers identical types of articles made *of cotton*. Therefore, the key differentiator for classification under 9619.00.74.00 is the material composition; if the absorbent core or outer layers are primarily derived from synthetic fibers such as polyester, rayon, or polypropylene, then this classification applies.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level hinge on the accurate identification of the article's purpose (absorbent hygiene product) and its primary material composition (man-made fibers), ensuring proper tariff treatment for imported and exported goods.
