Classification of dishcloths under HS 6307.10
Dishcloths are classified under HS code 6307.10, which falls within the category of other made-up textile articles. According to the General Rules of Interpretation and the Explanatory Notes to Chapter 63, heading 6307 is a residual heading for textile items that are not more specifically described in other headings of Section XI. Subheading 6307.10 specifically encompasses floor-cloths, dish-cloths, dusters, and similar cleaning cloths. To qualify for this classification, the article must be "made up," meaning it has been cut to shape, hemmed, or otherwise finished for use as a cleaning tool. These items are typically made from woven, knitted, or non-woven textile materials, including cotton, microfiber, or synthetic blends. The classification is driven by the product's intended use in household cleaning and its finished state, rather than the specific textile construction method.

Codes often confused with 6307.10
Common mistake. Dishcloths are often misclassified under HS code 6302, which covers bed, table, toilet, and kitchen linen. However, 6302 is intended for articles like tablecloths and hand towels. Cleaning cloths that are used for scrubbing or wiping surfaces are specifically directed to 6307.10. Another common error is using 5705 for floor cloths, but 5705 is for carpets and other textile floor coverings, not cleaning rags.

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).
