HS Code for Crocheted bedspreads

Crocheted bedspreads are classified under HS code 6304.11. This classification is governed by the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6, which prioritize the specific description provided in the Harmonized System nomenclature. Chapter 63 covers "Other made up textile articles," and Heading 6304 specifically addresses "Other furnishing articles," excluding those of heading 94.04. The subheading 6304.11 is explicitly reserved for bedspreads that are knitted or crocheted. This classification applies regardless of the fiber content, provided the construction method is crocheting. The item must be a finished textile article used as a decorative or protective covering for a bed. Because the HS system distinguishes between manufacturing techniques, the crocheted nature of the fabric is the primary determinant for this specific code, placing it ahead of woven alternatives found in other subheadings of 6304.

Common Misclassification

Crocheted bedspreads are frequently misclassified under HS code 9404.90, which covers articles of bedding such as quilts and eiderdowns. However, Heading 9404 is reserved for items that are stuffed or internally fitted with any material, or are of cellular rubber or plastics. Since crocheted bedspreads are typically a single layer of textile material without stuffing, they must remain in 6304. Another common error is using 6301.10 for electric blankets or 6301.30 for cotton blankets; while similar, a bedspread is defined by its decorative furnishing purpose rather than just thermal insulation.
