HS Code for Synthetic bed linen
Synthetic bed linen is classified under HS code 6302.32. This classification falls under Chapter 63, which covers 'Other made-up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags.' Heading 6302 is specifically designated for bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, and kitchen linen. The subheading 6302.32 is reserved for bed linen made of man-made fibers (synthetic or artificial) that is not printed and not knitted or crocheted. The classification logic follows a sequence: first identifying the item as bed linen, then determining the material composition (man-made fibers vs. cotton or flax), and finally identifying the decorative or construction method (printed vs. non-printed). Because these items are 'made-up,' they are finished products ready for use, distinguishing them from rolls of fabric. The use of synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon is the defining characteristic for this specific code, reflecting the global trade distinction between natural and synthetic textile products.

Common Misclassification
Synthetic bed linen is frequently misclassified under HS code 6302.22, which is the correct code for bed linen of man-made fibers that *is* printed. If the fabric has any printed patterns or designs, it must move to 6302.22. Another common error is using 6302.31, which is for bed linen made of cotton. Additionally, users often confuse 'bed linen' with 'bedding' of heading 9404. While 6302 covers sheets and pillowcases, heading 9404 covers stuffed items like quilts, eiderdowns, and pillows. Knitted synthetic sheets should be classified under 6302.10, not 6302.32.
