Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 630291 when importing or exporting toilet and kitchen linen made of cotton, such as dish towels or table napkins. These items are specifically designed for household use and exclude any terry toweling fabrics.

This code is distinct from HS-6 630290, which covers similar products made from materials other than cotton. If your items are made from linen or synthetic fibers, you would need to classify them differently under that code.

When dealing with kitchen linens like aprons or cloths, ensure they are 100% cotton to qualify under this HS-6. Items that include terry fabrics, such as bath towels, fall under different classifications and must be reported accordingly.

Understanding the specifics of this HS-6 can help avoid misclassification. If you're unsure whether your products qualify, consider consulting with a customs broker for guidance.
