Classification of dust cloths under HS 6307.10
Dust cloths are classified under HS code 6307.10, which encompasses floor cloths, dish-cloths, dusters, and similar cleaning cloths. This classification falls under Chapter 63, which covers "Other made-up textile articles." The primary reason for this classification is that these items are finished textile products specifically designed and "made up" for cleaning purposes. According to the Section XI notes of the Harmonized System, an article is considered "made up" if it has been cut to a shape other than square or rectangular, or if it has been hemmed or finished with sewn edges. Therefore, a simple piece of fabric cut from a bolt without any edge finishing would not fall under 6307.10, but rather under the fabric's material heading in Chapters 50-60. Dust cloths can be made from various materials, including cotton, synthetic fibers, or microfiber, but their classification is determined by their functional form as a finished cleaning tool. This code is essential for distinguishing between raw textile materials and finished household utility items that are ready for retail sale.

Codes often confused with 6307.10
Common mistake. Dust cloths are often misclassified under 3924.90 if they are made of plastic-based materials that do not have a textile structure. They are also confused with 5407 or 5208 if the importer treats them as bulk fabric rather than "made-up" articles. Another error is using 6307.90, which is a residual category for articles not used for cleaning.

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).
