Microfiber towels are classified under HS code 6302.93.

Heading 6302 specifically includes bed, table, toilet, and kitchen linen. Microfiber towels, whether used for personal hygiene (toilet linen) or cleaning surfaces (kitchen or general linen), are considered made-up articles because they are cut to size and hemmed.

This classification follows GRI 1, as the towels are finished textile products intended for household or professional cleaning and hygiene.

Codes often confused with 6302.93
Common mistake. Microfiber towels are often misclassified under HS code 6307.10, which covers floorcloths, dishcloths, dusters, and similar cleaning cloths. While there is overlap, 6302.93 is more specific for towels used as toilet or kitchen linen. Another common mistake is using 6001.22, which is the code for the fabric itself in rolls. Once the fabric is cut and sewn into a towel, it must move from Chapter 60 to Chapter 63.

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).
