HS Code for Printed synthetic bed linen
Printed synthetic bed linen is classified under HS code 6302.22 based on its material composition and its functional use as bed linen. Chapter 63 covers "Other made up textile articles," and heading 6302 specifically includes bed, table, toilet, and kitchen linen. The classification process follows a hierarchical approach: first identifying the article as bed linen, then determining that it is printed (as opposed to plain, dyed, or yarn-dyed), and finally identifying the fiber content. Subheading 6302.22 is designated for printed bed linen made of man-made fibers, which includes synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, or microfiber. This classification excludes knitted or crocheted items, which are classified elsewhere in the same heading. The "made up" status implies that the fabric has been cut to size and hemmed or otherwise finished for use as bedding, distinguishing it from bulk fabric rolls found in Section XI.

Common Misclassification
This product is often confused with HS code 6302.21, which is reserved for printed bed linen made specifically of cotton. Importers must verify the percentage of synthetic versus natural fibers to ensure the correct code is applied. Another common misclassification is 9404.90, which covers bedding articles like quilts, eiderdowns, and comforters. While these are used on beds, 6302.22 is strictly for linen (sheets and cases) rather than stuffed furnishings. Furthermore, if the linen is knitted rather than woven, it should be classified under 6302.10.
