Product classification
HS code for Rug making kits: 6308.00
Fabrics, woven and yarn, in sets, whether or not with accessories, for making up into rugs, tapestries, embroidered table cloths or serviettes or similar textile articles, packaged for retail sale.
Classification of rug making kits under HS 6308.00
HS Code 6308.00 is a specific classification for sets consisting of woven fabric and yarn, whether or not with accessories, for making up into rugs, tapestries, embroidered table cloths, or similar textile articles, put up in packings for retail sale. The primary reason for this classification is the "set" nature of the product. To qualify, the kit must contain the essential components to create a finished textile article and be packaged specifically for the end consumer. If the yarn and the canvas were imported separately in bulk, they would be classified under their respective headings in Chapters 51-55 or 59. However, when combined as a retail-ready kit, General Interpretative Rule 3(b) and the specific provision of 6308 apply. This code ensures that hobbyist materials are distinguished from industrial textile raw materials, reflecting their higher value-added nature and specific market destination.

Codes often confused with 6308.00
Common mistake. Rug making kits are frequently misclassified under HS code 5705.00, which covers finished rugs. However, 5705.00 is only for completed floor coverings, not the materials to make them. Another common error is using HS code 5208.00 for the woven fabric base or 5511.00 for the yarn. While these codes are correct for individual components, the "set" rule dictates that the entire kit must be classified under 6308.00 when sold together for retail.

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).
