Classification of printed cotton bed linen under HS 6302.21
Printed cotton bed linen is classified under HS code 6302.21. This classification is governed by Section XI of the Harmonized System, which covers textiles and textile articles. Heading 6302 specifically addresses bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, and kitchen linen. The subheading 21 is reserved for bed linen made of cotton that has been printed. To qualify for this code, the article must be made of woven cotton fabric; knitted or crocheted items are excluded and fall under 6302.10. The term 'printed' refers to fabrics that have been decorated with designs, patterns, or motifs using techniques like screen printing, rotary printing, or digital inkjet printing after the fabric has been woven. The cotton content must be 50% or more by weight to be considered 'of cotton' in most jurisdictions, though usually, this code implies 100% or high-percentage cotton blends where cotton predominates over any other single textile fiber.

Codes often confused with 6302.21
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 6302.10, which is for knitted or crocheted bed linen. Importers often fail to distinguish the construction method. Another error is using 6302.31, which is for 'other' cotton bed linen, typically meaning plain, bleached, or dyed-in-the-piece fabrics that are not printed. Additionally, if the bed linen is made of synthetic fibers but printed, it must be classified under 6302.22. Confusing 6302.21 with 6304 (other furnishing articles) is also common, but 6302 is the more specific heading for items that come into direct contact with the skin during sleep.

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).
