What decides the code
A cotton pillowcase is bed linen of heading 6302, classified under 6302.31.90.10 as other bed linen of cotton, not napped, other than bolster cases.
- The item is bed linen, which places it in heading 6302 rather than in headings for made up textile articles.
- The fiber is cotton, which leads to subheading 6302.31 for bed linen of cotton.
- The fabric is not napped, which leads to the statistical line 6302.31.90.10 for pillowcases other than bolster cases.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a cotton pillowcase in heading 6304 as other furnishing articles is wrong because heading 6302 covers bed linen by name.
- Classifying it under 6302.31.90.20 or another napped line is wrong because the fabric is not napped.
- Classifying a bolster case in 6302.31.90.10 is wrong because that line covers pillowcases other than bolster cases.
