HS code for Fabric awnings: 6306.19
Tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds, of textile materials other than synthetic fibres.
Classification of fabric awnings under HS 6306.19
Fabric awnings are classified under HS code 6306.19. This code falls under Chapter 63, which covers other made-up textile articles, sets, and worn clothing. Specifically, heading 6306 includes tarpaulins, awnings, and sunblinds. The sub-heading 6306.19 is a residual category for awnings made of textile materials other than synthetic fibers. This typically includes awnings made from natural fibers like cotton canvas or flax. The classification is determined by the function of the item—providing a secondary covering for sun or rain protection attached to a building—and the material composition. If the awning is made of synthetic fibers like polyester or acrylic, it would fall under a different sub-heading. The Harmonized System distinguishes between these materials to manage trade quotas and duties effectively. To be classified here, the item must be "made up," meaning it is finished and ready for use, rather than just a roll of fabric.

Codes often confused with 6306.19
Common mistake. The most common misclassification for fabric awnings is HS code 6306.12, which is specifically for awnings made of synthetic fibers. Given that most modern awnings are made of polyester or acrylic, 6306.12 is often the correct code, and 6306.19 should only be used for natural fibers. Another error is classifying them under 3926.90 if they are made of heavy plastic sheeting that does not qualify as a textile. Finally, they are sometimes confused with tents (6306.2x), but awnings are distinguished by their attachment to a structure.

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).
