Product classification
HS code for Synthetic bed linen: 6302.32
Bed linen, of man-made fibres (not printed, knitted or crocheted).
Classification of synthetic bed linen under HS 6302.32
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.

Codes often confused with 6302.32
Common mistake. 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.

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).
