Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 630260 when importing or exporting kitchen and toilet linen made from terry towelling or similar terry fabrics, specifically those made of cotton. An example would be cotton terry kitchen towels or bath mats.

This code is distinct from HS-6 630290, which covers similar products made from materials other than cotton, like polyester or blends. If your products are made from these alternative materials, you’ll need to classify them under that code instead.

The HS-6 630260 line specifically includes items like cotton terry cloth dish towels, bath towels, and washcloths. These items are typically soft, absorbent, and used in kitchens or bathrooms.

When classifying your products, ensure they fit the description of terry towelling. Items that are flat woven or made from non-terry fabrics will not qualify under this HS-6 code.
