Classification of camping tents under HS 6306.22
Camping tents made of synthetic fibers are classified under HS code 6306.22. This classification is part of Chapter 63, which covers other made-up textile articles. Heading 6306 specifically includes tents, which are defined as temporary shelters made of textile fabrics. The subheading 6306.22 is specific to those constructed from synthetic fibers, such as nylon or polyester, which are the most common materials for modern lightweight camping equipment. The classification includes the tent canopy itself and usually encompasses the poles, stakes, and carrying bags when they are presented together as a complete unit. According to GRI 1, the classification is determined by the material of the textile used for the tent walls and roof. Synthetic fibers are preferred for camping due to their water resistance and weight, leading to the high volume of trade under 6306.22. If a tent is made of cotton or other natural fibers, it would move to 6306.29. The HS system distinguishes tents from other temporary structures like umbrellas (Chapter 66) or prefabricated buildings (Chapter 94). To be classified under 6306.22, the article must be a portable shelter intended for outdoor use, typically for camping, trekking, or temporary events.

Codes often confused with 6306.22
Common mistake. Tents are often misclassified under 6306.29 if the importer fails to specify the fiber type (synthetic vs. natural). Another common error is 6306.12, which is for tarpaulins; while a tent is made of similar material, its construction as a shelter makes it a tent. Large-scale industrial marquees are sometimes incorrectly classified as prefabricated buildings under 9406, but if they are primarily textile-based, 6306 is correct.

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).
