Classification of cotton table runners under HS 6304.92
Cotton table runners are classified under HS code 6304.92. This code is situated within Chapter 63, which covers other made-up textile articles, sets, and worn clothing. Specifically, heading 6304 is designated for furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404 (such as mattresses or pillows). Table runners are considered decorative furnishing articles rather than essential table linen. The classification 6304.92 specifically identifies articles made of cotton that are not knitted or crocheted. The determination is based on the functional use of the item as a decorative accent for furniture and its material composition of woven cotton fabric. Unlike tablecloths, which cover the entire surface for protection, runners are narrower and primarily aesthetic.

Codes often confused with 6304.92
Common mistake. Cotton table runners are often confused with HS code 6302.51, which is the code for cotton tablecloths. While both are used on tables, 6302 is reserved for "table linen," which implies functional items like cloths and napkins used during meals. Table runners, being decorative furnishings, are legally directed to 6304. Another error involves 6304.91, which is for knitted or crocheted furnishing articles; if the runner is woven, it must stay in 6304.92. Finally, if the runner is made of man-made fibers, it belongs under 6304.93.

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).
