Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 9404 when importing or exporting mattress supports and bedding articles like quilts and cushions. For example, if you're shipping a container of mattresses made from cellular rubber, this heading will help you classify them accurately for customs.

When deciding between HS-6 lines, consider the material of the mattress. If your product is made from cellular rubber or plastics, use HS-6 940421. For mattresses made from other materials, select HS-6 940429. This distinction is crucial for compliance and duty rates.

If you're dealing with sleeping bags, you'll want to reference HS-6 940430 specifically. This line is distinct from mattress supports and other bedding articles, so make sure your product fits the description to avoid misclassification.

For items like quilts and duvets, HS-6 940440 is the correct classification. If your bedding articles don't fit the specific descriptions in the other lines, check HS-6 940490, which covers miscellaneous bedding and similar furnishing articles.
