HS Code for Quilts

Finished quilts, specifically those categorized as bedspreads that are not knitted or crocheted, are classified under HS code 6304.19. This classification falls within Chapter 63, which covers 'Other made up textile articles.' The determination for 6304.19 is based on the article being a finished product intended for furnishing beds. Unlike quilted material in the piece, these items are 'made up,' meaning they have been hemmed, bordered, or otherwise finished for immediate use. The classification relies on the fact that the item is a decorative or protective top layer for bedding. If the quilt is stuffed with a significant amount of down, feathers, or synthetic fiber to provide warmth (acting as the primary thermal layer), it may move to a different chapter, but standard decorative quilts and bedspreads remain here under the 'not knitted or crocheted' subcategory.

Products Included

• Finished decorative bed quilts
• Non-knitted bedspreads
• Coverlets with quilted patterns
• Patchwork quilts finished for retail sale

Common Misclassification

The most common confusion is between 6304.19 and 9404.90. HS code 9404.90 covers 'articles of bedding and similar furnishing' that are internally stuffed, such as duvets, comforters, and thick quilts. If the product is primarily a thick, stuffed bedding item, 9404 is more appropriate. Furthermore, 6304.11 is often used by mistake, but that code is reserved specifically for knitted or crocheted articles, whereas 6304.19 is for woven or other non-knitted constructions.
