HS Code 6302.99 – Toilet and kitchen linen; of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres)
HS code 6302.99 is the 6-digit subheading for toilet and kitchen linen, of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres). It is used for linen tea towels, hemp dishcloths, jute placemats, bamboo kitchen towels and ramie hand towels.
What HS 6302.99 covers
This HS code serves as a residual category for toilet and kitchen linen made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibres. This includes items crafted from natural fibres like linen (flax), hemp, jute, or blends where these "other" fibres are predominant. The international trade in these goods often caters to niche markets, including luxury segments, eco-conscious consumers, or those seeking specific aesthetic or performance qualities unique to these fibres. Importers are typically countries with discerning consumer bases and a demand for high-quality, specialized, or sustainable products, such as Western European nations, the USA, and Canada. Exporters often come from regions with traditional expertise in cultivating and processing these specific natural fibres, like Belgium and Ireland for linen, or Bangladesh for jute. Key considerations for traders include the specific fibre's properties, its sustainability credentials, and the often higher price point compared to cotton or synthetics. Market trends may lean towards artisanal or organic products.

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).
