HS Code for Printed bed linen

HS code 6302.29 covers printed bed linen made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. This category includes finished articles such as bed sheets, pillowcases, and mattress covers that have been printed with patterns or designs. Chapter 63 deals with other made-up textile articles, which means the items are fully manufactured and ready for use, rather than being bulk fabric on a roll. Heading 6302 specifically targets bed, table, toilet, and kitchen linen. While subheadings 6302.21 and 6302.22 cover cotton and man-made fibers respectively, 6302.29 acts as a residual category for linens made from silk, flax (linen), hemp, or other specialty natural fibers. The classification depends on the item being a made-up article and the specific fiber content. It is important to distinguish these finished goods from the raw fabrics used to make them, as the latter would be classified in Chapters 50 through 55 depending on the fiber type.

Products Included

• Printed flax linen pillowcases

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with HS code 6302.21 (printed cotton bed linen) or 6302.22 (printed man-made fiber bed linen). Accurate fiber testing is required to distinguish between them. Additionally, it is sometimes confused with HS code 9404.90, which covers quilts, eiderdowns, and comforters. The distinction is that 6302 covers flat linen (sheets/cases), while 9404 covers stuffed bedding articles.
