What HS 6306.12 covers
This HS code encompasses tarpaulins, awnings, and sunblinds made from synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. These products are essential for protection against weather elements and providing shade across various sectors, including construction, agriculture, transportation, and outdoor living. International trade involves manufacturers exporting durable, UV-resistant, and often waterproof synthetic textiles, while importers include construction companies, agricultural businesses, outdoor retailers, and event management firms. Key considerations for trade are the material's strength, UV resistance, waterproofing capabilities, and flame retardancy, making them highly sought after for their longevity and performance in diverse and often harsh environmental conditions. Their versatility makes them a staple in both industrial and consumer markets worldwide.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
