Plastic Disposable Diaper Liners
Plastic disposable diaper liners are thin polyethylene bags or sheets placed inside cloth diapers to catch solid waste and simplify cleanup. They are classified under this tariff item as 'similar articles for babies' when made of plastic, since they are not composed of paper pulp, textile wadding, or knitted fabrics, and serve a sanitary function for infants.
