Classification of printed cotton sheets under HS 6302.21
Printed cotton sheets are classified under HS code 6302.21 as they fall under the category of bed linen. Heading 6302 covers bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, and kitchen linen. The classification process first identifies the item as bed linen, then narrows it down by the printing process and the material composition. Subheading 6302.21 is specifically designated for bed linen made of cotton that has undergone a printing process, such as screen printing or digital printing. To qualify for this code, the fabric must be woven (not knitted or crocheted) and must be predominantly cotton by weight. This classification is essential for distinguishing between plain, dyed, and printed textiles in the home furnishings sector. The "printed" status is determined by the presence of designs, patterns, or motifs applied to the fabric surface after the weaving process is complete.

Codes often confused with 6302.21
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 6302.31, which covers cotton bed linen that is not printed (e.g., plain white or solid dyed). Another frequent error is using 6302.22, which is for printed bed linen made of man-made fibers like polyester. If the sheets are knitted rather than woven, they should be classified under 6302.10. Importers must verify the fiber content and the construction method to avoid these errors, as duty rates can vary significantly between cotton and synthetic materials.

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).
