Classification of silk throws under HS 6304.99
Silk throws are classified under HS code 6304.99 as furnishing articles. Unlike blankets, which are designed for warmth and classified in 6301, throws are considered decorative interior furnishings. Heading 6304 covers "other furnishing articles," and the subheading 99 is used for products made of textile materials other than cotton or synthetic fibers, which includes silk. These items are "made up," meaning they are finished products with hemmed edges or fringes, distinguishing them from bulk silk fabric. The classification relies on the decorative nature of the item and its silk material composition.

Codes often confused with 6304.99
Common mistake. Silk throws are often incorrectly classified under HS code 6301.90, which covers "other blankets." The distinction lies in use; if the item is primarily a bed covering for warmth, it is a blanket. If it is a decorative accessory, it is a furnishing article under 6304. Another error is using 9404.90, which is for bedspreads or quilts that are stuffed or internally padded. A silk throw is typically a single or double layer of fabric without the internal batting found in items under 9404.

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).
