Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If showing signs of appreciable wear and entered in bulk bales
Worn towels of man-made fibers qualify for heading 6309 as used textile articles, per chapter notes requiring wear and bulk packaging.
If made from warp knit fabrics coated with insecticides like permethrin
Subheading 6304.20 specifically covers insecticide-impregnated warp knit articles, overriding general towel classifications.
If sold as unmade up fabric rather than a finished towel
Knitted or crocheted fabrics of man-made fibers in Chapter 56 apply to materials, not made-up articles like towels.
