HS code for Cotton throw: 6301.30
Blankets (other than electric blankets) and travelling rugs, of cotton.
Classification of cotton throw under HS 6301.30
Cotton throws are classified under HS code 630130, which pertains to blankets and traveling rugs made of cotton, excluding electric blankets. The classification follows the guidelines of Chapter 63, which encompasses "Other made-up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags." Within this chapter, heading 6301 is reserved for blankets and traveling rugs. A "throw" is functionally defined as a small blanket often used for warmth or decorative purposes on furniture. Because these items are finished textile products made of cotton fibers, they fall squarely into the 630130 subheading. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the throw is woven or knitted, provided it functions as a blanket. For customs purposes, the essential character of the item as a portable covering for warmth is the deciding factor for its placement under 6301 rather than other furnishing headings.

Codes often confused with 6301.30
Common mistake. Cotton throws are often misclassified under HS code 630492, which covers "Other furnishing articles, not knitted or crocheted, of cotton." While a throw is used for furnishing, the specific heading for blankets (6301) takes precedence over the general furnishing heading (6304) according to GRI 3(a), which states that the most specific description should be used. Another common error is using 5208 or 5209, which are for cotton fabrics in the piece; however, throws are "made-up" articles with finished edges and cannot be classified as simple fabric.

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).
