Classification of duvet under HS 9404.40
Duvets are classified under HS code 9404.40, which covers quilts, bedspreads, eiderdowns, and duvets (comforters). This classification is part of Chapter 94, which includes furniture, bedding, and similar stuffed furnishings. The defining characteristic for classification under 9404.40 is that the article must be stuffed or internally fitted with any material, such as down, feathers, wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers. Unlike simple blankets, which are classified in Chapter 63 as textile articles, duvets are considered "bedding" because of their multi-layered, stuffed construction. The Harmonized System distinguishes these items based on their physical structure and intended use as heavy bed coverings. Even if the outer shell is made of high-quality silk or cotton, the presence of the internal filling dictates the classification under 9404.40. This code is used by customs authorities to apply specific standards for textile fillings and to regulate the import of down-filled products, which may be subject to additional health and safety certifications regarding animal welfare and hygiene.

Codes often confused with 9404.40
Common mistake. Duvets are frequently misclassified under 6301.40 (synthetic blankets) or 6301.30 (cotton blankets). The key difference is that blankets are usually a single layer of fabric, whereas duvets are stuffed. They may also be confused with duvet covers, which are unstuffed and belong in 6302.21 or 6302.31.

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).
