Why the code might be different
The code depends on what the product is made of and what it is mainly used for. Baby sleeping bags are usually made of cotton. If customs reads it differently, 6307.90.89.50 (Other made up articles, including dress patterns: Other: Other: Surgical towels; cotton towels of pile or tufted construction; pillow shells, of cotton; shells for quilts, eiderdowns, comforters and similar articles of cotton: Shells for quilts, eiderdowns, comforters and similar articles of cotton: Sleeping bag shells, 19.5% total); 9404.30.40.00 (Mattress supports; articles of bedding and similar furnishing (for example, mattresses, quilts, eiderdowns, cushions, pouffes and pillows) fitted with springs or stuffed or internally fitted with any material or of cellular rubber or plastics, whether or not covered: Sleeping bags: Containing 20 percent or more by weight of feathers and/or down, 17.2% total) could apply instead. A different material, a different power source or a different main use can move a product to another heading.
