HS Code for Knitted throws

Knitted throws are classified under HS code 6304.91, which covers "Other furnishing articles, knitted or crocheted." This classification is part of Chapter 63, which deals with made-up textile articles. Heading 6304 is a residual category for furnishing articles that are not covered by more specific headings like 6301 (blankets), 6302 (linen), or 6303 (curtains). The distinction between a "throw" and a "blanket" is often a point of contention in customs audits. Generally, a throw is considered a decorative furnishing item rather than a primary bed covering. Under GRI 1, the classification is governed by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Since 6304.91 specifically mentions "knitted or crocheted" furnishing articles, any throw produced via knitting techniques must be placed here. This includes items made from various fibers, including synthetic blends or natural wool, provided they are knitted and intended for furnishing purposes. The "made-up" status is essential, meaning the edges are finished and the product is ready for use in a home environment. If the item is intended specifically for bedding and has characteristics of a quilt or eiderdown, it might be pushed toward Chapter 94, but standard decorative knitted throws remain firmly in 6304.91.

Common Misclassification

Knitted throws are often misclassified as blankets under heading 6301. Specifically, cotton blankets are 6301.30 and synthetic blankets are 6301.40. If the item is primarily for warmth on a bed, 6301 is used; if it is for decorative furnishing, 6304.91 is correct. Additionally, items with filling (like duvets) belong in 9404.90.
