It falls under HTS 6302.21.90 as other printed bed linen of cotton that is not napped, distinct from knitted or non-printed varieties.

Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% via lab tests for accurate classification under Chapter 63; blends may shift to 6302.32

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'printed, not napped' to prevent misclassification as napped (6302.22) or unprinted (6302.31) linen

• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with FTC rules; common pitfall is incomplete washing instructions leading to CBP holds
