Chapter 63: Other made-up textile articles

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 630251 when importing or exporting table linen made of cotton that is not knitted or crocheted. This includes items like cotton tablecloths and napkins, which are essential for both home and restaurant settings.

This code specifically covers table linen, distinguishing it from other textile articles like bed linen or kitchen linen. For instance, HS-6 630252 applies to table linen made from materials other than cotton, such as polyester.

If you're dealing with cotton table runners or placemats, they also fall under this HS-6. However, items like cotton dish towels would be classified differently under HS-6 630260, which covers kitchen linen.

When classifying your products, consider the fabric type and intended use. Cotton table linen is often sold in sets or individually, and the packaging may indicate whether they are for casual or formal dining.
