HS Code for Knitted bedspreads

Knitted bedspreads are classified under HS code 6304.11. Heading 6304 covers "other furnishing articles," excluding those of heading 9404 (such as mattresses or quilts). Furnishing articles include items used in the home, such as wall hangings, cushion covers, and bedspreads. Subheading 6304.11 is specifically for bedspreads that are knitted or crocheted. A bedspread is defined as a decorative covering for a bed that usually covers the entire bed, including the pillows, and often reaches the floor. The classification is determined by the "made-up" nature of the textile and its specific end-use as a top-layer furnishing. Because it is knitted, it is separated from woven bedspreads, which fall under 6304.19. This distinction is important because furnishing articles are treated differently than bed linen (6302) in terms of trade statistics and tariff applications, as they are considered decorative rather than purely functional for hygiene.

Common Misclassification

Knitted bedspreads are often confused with blankets, which are classified under heading 6301. The distinction is that blankets are primarily for warmth, while bedspreads are for decoration and covering the bed. If the item is a "quilt" or "eiderdown" (stuffed with padding), it must be classified under 9404.90. Another common error is misclassifying them as bed linen under 6302.10. Bed linen refers to sheets and pillowcases that come in direct contact with the sleeper, whereas bedspreads are external furnishings. Finally, if the bedspread is woven rather than knitted, it belongs in 6304.19.
