HS Code for Quilted material

Quilted textile products in the piece are classified under HS code 5811.00. This classification is determined by the specific construction of the material, which must consist of one or more layers of textile fabric combined with a padding or wadding layer, held together by stitching or other bonding methods. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1, classification is governed by the terms of the headings. Heading 5811 specifically covers these multi-layered products provided they are 'in the piece,' meaning they are imported in rolls or lengths and have not yet been cut to specific shapes or finished into end-use articles. The padding layer typically provides thermal insulation or cushioning, making it distinct from standard multi-layered fabrics that lack a volumetric filling. This code excludes products where the stitching is purely decorative embroidery without the intent of securing a padding layer, as those would fall under heading 5810.

Products Included

• Rolls of quilted cotton fabric with polyester batting
• Quilted synthetic textile materials for upholstery use
• Multi-layered quilted linings for cold-weather apparel in bulk
• Quilted textile materials joined by ultrasonic bonding rather than thread

Common Misclassification

A frequent error involves confusing 5811.00 with HS code 5810, which covers embroidery in the piece. If the stitching does not secure a layer of padding, it is classified as embroidery. Another common misclassification occurs with HS code 9404.90, which covers finished quilts and eiderdowns. The distinction lies in whether the item is a finished article (9404) or raw material in the piece (5811). Additionally, if the quilted material is intended for industrial filtration, it might be incorrectly placed in 5911.
