Classification of hammocks under HS 6306.90

Hammocks are classified under HS code 6306.90, which encompasses camping goods made of textile materials. Heading 6306 is a broad category that includes tarpaulins, awnings, sunblinds, tents, and sails. The subheading 6306.90 is a residual category for "other" camping goods that are not specifically named elsewhere. For a hammock to fall under this code, it must be primarily constructed from textile materials, such as woven cotton, nylon, or polyester netting. The classification is based on the intended use as outdoor or camping equipment. According to the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN), this heading covers articles used for camping or for protection against the weather. Even if a hammock is marketed for backyard use, its inherent design as a portable, textile-based sleeping or lounging apparatus aligns it with camping equipment. The classification is also supported by the fact that hammocks are not considered "furniture" in the traditional sense unless they possess a permanent, non-textile structural frame that allows them to stand independently on the floor.

Codes often confused with 6306.90

Common mistake. Hammocks are frequently misclassified under HS code 9401.80, which covers "Other seats." This usually happens when the hammock is sold with a heavy metal or wooden stand. If the stand is the primary component and the hammock is a "hammock chair," it may move to Chapter 94. Another common mistake is using 5608.19 for "Knotted netting of twine, cordage or rope." While many hammocks are made of netting, once the netting is "made up" into a finished product with end-loops, it must be classified in Chapter 63.

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).
