How to choose the right subheading

Construction: knitted or crocheted lines fall in 6303.12 and 6303.19; woven or other construction falls in 6303.91, 6303.92 and 6303.99.
Fiber content: cotton, synthetic fibers, artificial fibers, silk or other textile materials decide the lower subheading.
Product type: window curtains and valances, window shades and blinds, and other articles have separate national lines.
For woven synthetic curtains, check whether the fabric is described in subheading 5407.61.11, 5407.61.21 or 5407.61.91 because that sends the item to 6303.92.10.00.
For other textile materials, check whether the item contains 85% or more by weight of silk or silk waste.
