Product classification
HS code for Canvas tents: 6306.29
Tents (including temporary canopies and similar articles), of textile materials other than synthetic fibres.
Classification of canvas tents under HS 6306.29
Canvas tents are classified under HS code 6306.29. This classification is governed by the rules of Section XI, which covers textile articles. Heading 6306 includes camping goods, and the subheading 6306.29 is specifically for tents made of textile materials other than synthetic fibers. Traditional canvas tents, often made from heavy cotton duck fabric, fall into this category. The classification applies to the complete tent system, including the canopy, walls, and, if imported as a set, the poles, pegs, and carrying bags. The primary distinction for this code is the fiber type; if the tent fabric is made of natural fibers (cotton, linen), it belongs here. These products are defined as portable shelters used for camping, military use, or temporary events, distinguishing them from permanent structures.

Codes often confused with 6306.29
Common mistake. Canvas tents are frequently misclassified under HS code 6306.22, which is the specific code for tents made of synthetic fibers (such as nylon or polyester). Because most modern lightweight tents are synthetic, 6306.22 is the more common code, leading to errors when documenting traditional canvas products. Another misclassification is HS code 9406.90, which covers prefabricated buildings. While large marquee tents might seem like buildings, they remain in 6306 if they are portable and made of textile. Additionally, if only the tent poles are imported without the textile canopy, they must be classified according to their constituent material (e.g., steel poles in 7308).

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).
