Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6304 when importing furnishing articles like bedspreads, whether they are knitted or crocheted. For example, if you're shipping a collection of cotton bedspreads for a home decor retailer, this heading applies.
When deciding between HS-6 lines, consider the construction of the item. HS-6 630411 covers knitted or crocheted bedspreads, while HS-6 630419 is for those that are not. If your product is a crocheted bedspread, select 630411; if it’s woven but not knitted, choose 630419.
Another distinction lies in the material. For instance, HS-6 630492 is for cotton furnishing articles not knitted or crocheted, while HS-6 630493 is for synthetic fibres. If your goods are made from polyester, you should classify them under 630493 instead of 630492.
