Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6302 when importing bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, or kitchen linen. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of cotton bed sheets, this heading applies. Understanding the specific subheading is crucial for correct tariff classification and compliance.

When deciding between subheadings, consider whether your bed linen is knitted or crocheted. If it is, you'll use HS-6 630210. For printed cotton bed linen that is not knitted, choose HS-6 630221. This distinction affects duty rates and regulations.

For table linen, the choice between cotton and man-made fibers is key. If your tablecloth is made of cotton and not knitted, use HS-6 630251. If it’s made from a synthetic material, then HS-6 630253 is the correct code. These details help ensure accurate classification.

Toilet and kitchen linen also have specific classifications. For cotton terry towels, use HS-6 630260. If your kitchen towels are made from man-made fibers, refer to HS-6 630293. Each option has different tariff implications, so choose carefully.
