Cotton Table Runner from Japan
A long, narrow woven cotton runner placed down the center of dining tables for decoration and protection. It qualifies for HTS 6304.92.00.00 as a non-knitted cotton furnishing article, specifically excluded from table linen headings like 6302 due to its decorative runner form. Fringed edges add elegance.

Import Tips
• Distinguish from placemats via dimensions on invoices to stay in 6304 vs 6302
• Check for warp-knit fabrics which shift to 6304.20 if treated with insecticides
• Use commercial invoices noting 'decorative furnishing' to evade kitchen linen scrutiny
