HS code for Laundry bags: 6307.90

Textiles, made up articles (including dress patterns), n.e.c. in chapter 63, n.e.c. in heading no. 6307.

Classification of laundry bags under HS 6307.90

Laundry bags made of textile materials are classified under HS code 6307.90. This code serves as a residual or "basket" category for made-up textile articles that are not more specifically described elsewhere in Chapter 63 or other chapters of the Harmonized System. Since laundry bags are finished textile products but do not fit the definitions of apparel (Chapters 61 and 62) or specific household linens like bedsheets (Heading 6302), they fall under Heading 6307. The classification is driven by the material composition (textile) and the fact that the item is "made up," meaning it has been sewn, hemmed, or otherwise finished into a final usable form. This includes bags used for sorting, transporting, or protecting garments during the washing process. The essential character of the item is a textile container, but because it lacks the reinforced structure or specific characteristics of travel luggage, it remains in the textile chapter rather than the luggage chapter.

Codes often confused with 6307.90

Common mistake. Laundry bags are often misclassified under HS code 4202.92, which covers travel bags and similar containers. However, 4202 is generally reserved for items with a more durable construction intended for travel or prolonged transport. If the bag is made of plastic sheeting rather than textile fabric, it must be classified under HS code 3923.21 or 3923.29. Confusion also arises with HS code 6305, which covers sacks and bags used for the packing of goods, but those are typically for bulk transport of commodities.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
