Classification of rayon scarf under HS 6214.40
A rayon scarf is classified under HS code 6214.40. This classification falls under Chapter 62, which covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6214 specifically includes shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and similar items. The subheading 6214.40 is designated for these items when they are made of artificial fibers. Rayon, being a regenerated cellulose fiber (such as viscose, modal, or lyocell), is categorized as an artificial fiber rather than a synthetic fiber (like polyester or nylon). To qualify for this code, the scarf must be woven or made from fabric that is not knitted. If the scarf were made of a blend, the classification would depend on the constituent fiber that predominates by weight, following the Section XI notes of the Harmonized System. The construction of the scarf, including any fringes or basic embroidery, is generally included under this code provided the primary material remains artificial fiber fabric.

Codes often confused with 6214.40
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 6117.10, which covers scarves and shawls that are knitted or crocheted. Another frequent error is using HS code 6214.30, which is reserved for scarves made of synthetic fibers like polyester. Importers must distinguish between \"synthetic\" (petroleum-based) and \"artificial\" (cellulose-based) fibers to ensure the correct subheading is applied. Scarves made of silk would fall under 6214.10.

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).
