Classification of polyester throws under HS 6304.93
Polyester throws are classified under HS code 6304.93. This code is found in Chapter 63, which covers "Other made-up textile articles," and heading 6304, which is dedicated to "Other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404." The subheading 6304.93 specifically covers articles made of synthetic fibers that are not knitted or crocheted. A "throw" is generally defined as a decorative textile item used to cover furniture or as a light wrap for warmth, but it is not considered primary bedding. The classification depends on the item's intended use and its construction. If the throw is woven from polyester yarns and is intended for decorative use in a living room or as an accent piece on a bed, it falls under 6304. The distinction between a throw and a blanket is often subtle but critical for HS classification. Throws are categorized as furnishing articles because they are often smaller than standard blankets and serve an aesthetic purpose. The use of synthetic fibers like polyester is a common choice for these items due to the ability to mimic the feel of wool or silk while maintaining lower production costs.

Codes often confused with 6304.93
Common mistake. The most common misclassification for polyester throws is HS code 6301.40, which covers blankets and traveling rugs of synthetic fibers. If the item is large enough to be used as a bed covering and is primarily intended for warmth, it is a blanket (6301). Another common error is 9404.90, which covers articles of bedding like quilts and eiderdowns; however, 9404 is generally reserved for stuffed or internally fitted articles. If the throw is knitted rather than woven, it should be classified under 6304.91. Finally, if the throw is made of cotton, the correct code is 6304.92.

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).
