HS Code for Linen curtains

Linen curtains are classified under HS code 6303.99. This classification falls under Chapter 63, which encompasses "Other made up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags." Heading 6303 specifically covers curtains (including drapes) and interior blinds, as well as curtain or bed valances. The determination of the subheading depends on the material and the construction method. Since linen is a vegetable fiber derived from flax and is not cotton or a synthetic fiber, it falls into the "of other textile materials" category. Furthermore, this code is reserved for articles that are not knitted or crocheted. The classification is based on General Interpretative Rule 1, following the terms of the heading and the relevant section and chapter notes which define "made up" articles as those that are hemmed, edged, or otherwise finished for use.

Common Misclassification

Linen curtains are often misclassified under HS code 6303.91 (cotton) or 6303.92 (synthetic fibers) if the material composition is not properly verified. Another common error is classifying them under HS code 5309, which covers woven fabrics of flax. However, once the fabric is cut to shape and hemmed into a curtain, it must be classified as a "made up" article in Chapter 63. Additionally, if the curtains are knitted rather than woven, they must be classified under 6303.19, regardless of the linen content.
