Product classification
HS code for Fleece blanket: 6301.40
Blankets (other than electric blankets) and travelling rugs, of synthetic fibres.
Classification of fleece blanket under HS 6301.40
Fleece blankets are classified under HS code 6301.40 because they are "made up" textile articles consisting of blankets and traveling rugs made of synthetic fibers. Most modern fleece is made from polyester, which is a synthetic polymer. Heading 6301 is the primary category for blankets, and the sub-heading 6301.40 specifically captures those made from man-made fibers. To be classified here, the item must be finished and ready for use as a blanket, meaning it is cut to size and usually hemmed or bound at the edges. The manufacturing process usually involves knitting a fabric and then brushing it to create the characteristic "fleece" nap. If the item is merely a length of fleece fabric not hemmed or finished into a specific blanket size, it would be classified in Chapter 60 as a knitted fabric. The classification under 6301.40 assumes the product is a finished consumer good intended for warmth.

Codes often confused with 6301.40
Common mistake. Fleece blankets are often confused with cotton blankets (6301.30) or wool blankets (6301.20). It is vital to verify the fiber content via a lab test or manufacturer specification. Another common error is classifying them under 6001.22 if they are imported in large rolls; heading 6301 only applies to finished, "made up" articles. Electric blankets are also excluded and must be classified under 6301.10.

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).
