What HS 5806.10 covers

These materials are highly valued in international trade for their unique textures, absorbency, and softness. Major importers include textile manufacturers, home goods retailers, and apparel brands seeking materials for bath linens, upholstery, and cozy garments. Exporters are typically textile mills in countries with strong weaving traditions and access to raw materials.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
