HS Code for Knitted bed linen

Knitted bed linen is classified under HS code 6302.10. Heading 6302 covers bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, and kitchen linen. Within this heading, the system distinguishes between items based on their construction and material. Subheading 6302.10 is specifically reserved for bed linen that is "knitted or crocheted." This includes products made from jersey knit or other interlocking loop structures, which provide stretch and softness compared to traditional woven fabrics. Bed linen is defined as articles used on a bed for protection or hygiene, such as sheets and pillowcases. Unlike woven bed linen, which is further subdivided by fiber type (cotton, flax, man-made fibers) in subheadings 6302.21 through 6302.39, all knitted bed linen is grouped under 6302.10 regardless of the textile material used, provided it meets the definition of bed linen and the construction method is knitting.

Products Included

• Jersey knit bed sheets

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs with woven bed linen, which falls under 6302.21 (printed cotton) or 6302.31 (other cotton). Importers must verify the fabric construction; if there is no stretch or visible loop structure, it is likely woven. Another error is confusing bed linen with bedspreads. Bedspreads are decorative top covers and are classified under 6304.11 if knitted. Additionally, knitted blankets are classified under 6301.20 or 6301.30 or 6301.40 depending on the material, as blankets are considered separate from "linen" used for hygiene.
