Classification of decorative cushions under HS 6304.20
Decorative cushions are classified under HS code 6304.20 (or 6304.92/93/99 depending on material) as furnishing articles. The classification is driven by the distinction between "bedding" and "furnishing." Under the Harmonized System, Chapter 94 covers bedding and similar furnishings that are internally stuffed or fitted with springs, such as mattresses and sleeping pillows. However, decorative cushions intended for use on sofas, chairs, or as floor accents are categorized under Chapter 63, which covers other made-up textile articles. Heading 6304 specifically targets furnishing articles excluding those of heading 9404. The classification depends on the primary use of the item; if the cushion is designed for aesthetic enhancement of a room rather than for support during sleep, it falls under the textile furnishing category. This distinction is critical for customs compliance as duty rates often vary significantly between Chapter 63 and Chapter 94.

Codes often confused with 6304.20
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 9404.90. Importers often place decorative cushions here because they are "stuffed" articles. However, 9404.90 is reserved for articles of bedding like bed pillows, quilts, and eiderdowns. If a cushion is marketed as a "sleeping pillow," it belongs in 9404; if it is a "toss pillow," it belongs in 6304. Another error involves HS code 6307 (other made-up articles), which should only be used if the item does not fit the definition of a furnishing article under 6304.

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).
