HS Code for Printed polyester sheets

Printed polyester sheets are classified under HS code 6302.22 as they are finished "made-up" textile articles rather than bulk fabric. This code specifically covers bed linen made of man-made fibers that have been printed and are not knitted or crocheted. The classification follows the hierarchy of Section XI of the Harmonized System, where Chapter 63 is reserved for finished textile products. To qualify for this code, the sheets must be hemmed or otherwise finished for use as bedding. The "printed" designation refers to the application of designs or patterns through various printing techniques, such as pigment printing or sublimation, which must be performed on the man-made fiber substrate (in this case, polyester). This classification is distinct from the raw fabric rolls used to manufacture the sheets, which would be classified in Chapter 54 or 55. The determination of "made-up" status is a critical factor in applying this code correctly, as it signifies the product is ready for retail sale or immediate use in a household setting.

Common Misclassification

Printed polyester sheets are often misclassified under 6302.21, which is specifically for bed linen made of cotton. Another common error is using 5407.54, which covers printed woven polyester fabric in rolls; once the fabric is cut and hemmed into sheets, it must move to Chapter 63. Furthermore, if the sheets are knitted rather than woven, they should be classified under 6302.10, which covers knitted or crocheted bed linen.
