HS code for Quilt: 9404.40
Quilts, bedspreads, eiderdowns and duvets (comforters).
Classification of quilt under HS 9404.40
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.

Codes often confused with 9404.40
Common mistake. 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.

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).
