Classification of pop-up canopies under HS 6306.22

Pop-up canopies are classified under HS code 6306.22, which covers tents made of synthetic fibers. This classification falls within Chapter 63, "Other made up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags." Heading 6306 specifically includes tarpaulins, awnings, and sunblinds; tents; sails for boats, sailboards or landcraft; and camping goods. A pop-up canopy is defined as a tent because it provides a temporary shelter consisting of a textile covering and a supporting structure. Under the Harmonized System, the material of the textile covering is the primary determinant for the subheading. Since most commercial pop-up canopies utilize polyester, nylon, or other man-made polymers, they are classified under 6306.22. The metal frame, while often the most substantial part of the product in terms of weight and cost, is considered a component of the tent "set." According to the Explanatory Notes to heading 6306, tents are classified here even if they are presented with their frames, as the textile part gives the product its essential character as a portable shelter.

Codes often confused with 6306.22

Common mistake. Pop-up canopies are often misclassified under 7308.90, which covers structures and parts of structures of iron or steel. This occurs when the focus is placed on the heavy metal frame rather than the textile canopy. However, because the item is designed for portability and temporary use, it is excluded from 7308 and placed in 6306. Another common error is using 6306.29, which is for tents made of "other textile materials." This should only be used if the canopy is made of natural fibers like cotton or canvas. If the canopy is a permanent awning attached to a building, it might be confused with 6306.12, but "tents" (6306.22) is the more accurate description for free-standing pop-up units.

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).
