What decides the code
Reusable cloth diapers of synthetic textile fibers are classified under heading 9619, specifically subheading 9619.00.41.00 for diapers of other textile materials of synthetic fibers.
- The product is a diaper, so it falls in heading 9619, which covers diapers and similar articles of any material.
- The diaper is reusable cloth rather than a disposable article, and heading 9619 covers both kinds.
- The textile material is synthetic fiber, which places the diaper in subheading 9619.00.41.00 rather than the lines for other textile materials.
Common mistakes
- Classifying cloth diapers under 6209.20 or other babies' garment headings is wrong because diapers are not wearing apparel and heading 9619 specifically names diapers.
- Classifying under 6307.90 as other made up textile articles is wrong because heading 9619 provides a specific heading for diapers.
- Classifying under 3926.20 as articles of plastics is wrong when the diaper is made of textile fabric, since heading 9619 covers diapers of any material by their function.
