HS Code for Quilt

Quilts are classified under HS code 9404.40. This code is part of Chapter 94, which covers furniture, bedding, and similar stuffed furnishings. Heading 9404 specifically addresses mattress supports and articles of bedding or similar furnishing that are fitted with springs or stuffed or internally fitted with any material. Subheading 9404.40 includes quilts, bedspreads, eiderdowns, and duvets (comforters). The primary characteristic for classification here is the construction of the item: it must consist of two layers of fabric sewn together with a layer of insulating padding (such as down, feathers, synthetic fibers, or wool) in between. This "stuffed" nature is what distinguishes these items from simple blankets. The classification applies regardless of the exterior fabric type or the specific filling material used, provided the item functions as a heavy, padded bed covering. This code ensures that decorative and functional bed coverings with internal filling are grouped together for tariff purposes, separate from non-padded textile articles. The presence of quilting stitches, which hold the filling in place, is a hallmark of products in this category.

Products Included

• Padded quilts with textile outer shells
• Down-filled duvets and eiderdowns
• Synthetic fiber-filled comforters
• Bedspreads with internal padding or stuffing

Common Misclassification

Quilts are frequently misclassified under HS code 6301, which covers blankets and traveling rugs. The key difference is that blankets are usually a single layer of fabric, while quilts are stuffed. They may also be confused with 9404.90, which covers other bedding items like pillows and cushions.
