HS Code for Polyester blanket

The classification of polyester blankets under HS code 6301.40 is based on their identity as blankets and travelling rugs and their material composition. Chapter 63 covers other made-up textile articles, and heading 6301 is dedicated specifically to blankets. The sub-heading 6301.40 is designated for those made of synthetic fibers, which includes polyester. To be classified here, the item must be a finished textile product used for warmth or covering, typically on a bed or while traveling. It excludes electric blankets, which have their own specific sub-heading. The distinction between a blanket and a bedspread is often based on the thickness and the presence of padding; blankets are generally single-layered or woven, whereas quilts and comforters are stuffed. Polyester blankets are popular due to their lightweight nature and heat retention properties. They must be finished with hemmed or fringed edges to be considered made-up articles under this heading.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is with HS code 9404.90, which covers quilts, eiderdowns, and comforters. If the item is stuffed or padded, it belongs in 9404. Another error is using 6301.10 for electric blankets, regardless of the material. Additionally, if the blanket is made of wool or fine animal hair, it must be classified under 6301.20, while cotton blankets fall under 6301.30.
