Quilted textile products, in the piece, composed of one or more layers of textile materials assembled with padding by stitching or otherwise (excluding embroidery of heading no. 5810).
Classification of quilted fabric under HS 5811.00
Quilted textile products are classified under HS code 5811.00 based on their unique multi-layered construction. According to the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System, this heading specifically covers textile products in the piece that consist of one or more layers of textile materials combined with a padding or wadding layer. These layers must be joined together by stitching, such as quilting, or by other bonding methods like heat-sealing or adhesives. The classification is determined by the presence of the internal padding and the fact that the material is presented in the piece (rolls or lengths) rather than as finished articles. This heading is part of Chapter 58, which deals with special woven fabrics and tufted textile fabrics, emphasizing that the material is a semi-finished textile product intended for further manufacturing into garments, bedding, or upholstery.

Codes often confused with 5811.00
Common mistake. Quilted fabrics are frequently misclassified under heading 5810, which covers embroidery. While quilting involves stitching, 5811 specifically excludes embroidery where the stitching is purely decorative and does not serve to secure a layer of padding. Another common error is using heading 9404, which covers finished articles of bedding like quilts, eiderdowns, and comforters. If the quilted material is already cut to size or finished for use as a bedspread, it must be classified under 9404 rather than 5811. Additionally, simple laminated fabrics without padding should be classified in Chapter 59.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
