Product classification
HS code for Knitted table linen: 6302.40
Table linen, knitted or crocheted.
Classification of knitted table linen under HS 6302.40
Knitted table linen is classified under HS code 6302.40 based on the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6. Chapter 63 covers "Other made up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags." Within this chapter, heading 6302 is specifically dedicated to bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, and kitchen linen. The classification process requires identifying the manufacturing method and the intended use of the article. Since the product is specifically "knitted or crocheted" and serves as "table linen," it falls directly into the 6302.40 subheading. This code is distinct from woven alternatives because the structure of the fabric—formed by interlocking loops rather than interlacing warp and weft threads—changes the technical classification. Importers must ensure the fabric construction is verified through technical data sheets to avoid misdeclaration. The material composition, whether cotton, polyester, or a blend, is secondary to the construction method (knitted) for this specific subheading, although it may affect duty rates at the national level. Proper documentation should specify that the item is a made-up article, meaning it is hemmed or otherwise finished for use as table linen, rather than being a simple roll of knitted fabric.

Codes often confused with 6302.40
Common mistake. Knitted table linen is frequently confused with woven table linen. Woven cotton table linen falls under 6302.51, while woven man-made fiber table linen is classified under 6302.53. Other textile materials that are woven fall under 6302.59. The primary distinction is the fabric construction; if the item is not knitted or crocheted, it must be moved to the 6302.5 series.

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).
