Classification of electric blanket under HS 6301.10

Electric blankets are classified under HS code 6301.10. This classification is primarily governed by General Interpretative Rule (GRI) 1, which states that classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Heading 6301 specifically covers blankets and traveling rugs. While electric blankets contain electrical heating elements, Chapter 63, Note 1, and the Explanatory Notes to Heading 6301 clarify that blankets remain classified here even if they are electrically heated. The textile component provides the essential character of the product as a blanket, used for covering the body for warmth. The electrical assembly is considered an integrated feature of the textile article rather than a separate heating appliance. This specific subheading (6301.10) was created to distinguish these items from non-electric blankets made of wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers, which are found in subheadings 6301.20 through 6301.90. Proper classification requires the item to be a finished textile product designed to serve as a bed covering or wrap. Furthermore, the classification remains consistent regardless of the textile material used—whether it is polyester, fleece, or wool—as long as the heating element is present. The presence of a detachable cord or a digital controller does not change the classification, as these are considered parts of the complete electric blanket assembly. Importers must ensure that the product is primarily a blanket; if the item is a rigid heating panel covered in fabric, it may fall elsewhere.

Codes often confused with 6301.10

Common mistake. Electric blankets are frequently misclassified under HS code 8516.79, which covers other electro-thermic appliances. While 8516 includes many household heating devices, the specific provision for blankets in 6301.10 takes precedence. Another common error is using 9404.90 for heated mattress pads. While similar, a mattress pad is often classified as bedding under 9404, whereas a blanket is 6301. If the product is marketed as a medical device for heat therapy, some might attempt to use 9018, but unless it has specific medical therapeutic properties beyond simple heating, 6301.10 remains the correct code.

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).
