## How to choose
- Is it made of cotton with a looped, plush texture? → 6302.60
- Is it made of cotton but not terry (e.g., plain weave)? → 6302.91
- Is it made of synthetic fibres like polyester or microfiber? → 6302.93
- Is it shaped to be worn on the head (e.g., turban-style)? → 6505.00
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A product can fit multiple categories: e.g., a terry cotton hair towel worn on the head qualifies for both 6302.60 and 6505.00. If shape is the main feature, prioritize 6505.00. If material and texture are primary, use 6302.60 or 6302.93. No priority rule is implied—choose based on the product’s **main function or defining feature**
