Classification of synthetic cushions under HS 6304.93
The classification of synthetic cushions and related furnishing articles under HS code 630493 involves a nuanced understanding of textile categories. Heading 6304 covers "Other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404." Subheading 630493 specifically identifies articles made of synthetic fibers that are not knitted or crocheted. This category includes items like decorative cushion covers, wall hangings, and other textile ornaments used in interior decoration. A key distinction in this classification is the exclusion of articles falling under heading 9404, which covers "mattress supports; articles of bedding and similar furnishing (for example, mattresses, quilts, eiderdowns, cushions, pouffes and pillows) fitted with springs or stuffed." Therefore, 630493 is primarily used for the textile "shell" or decorative furnishing aspect rather than the stuffed, functional support article. If the product is a complete, stuffed cushion, it is generally redirected to Chapter 94. However, many decorative textile items that are not stuffed, or are intended as covers for cushions, remain in 630493. The "synthetic fibers" requirement means the article must be composed of fibers like polyester, polypropylene, or nylon. The construction must be woven or non-woven, as knitted items are classified under 630491. This code is vital for the home decor industry, distinguishing between purely decorative textile additions and functional bedding or seating supports. Importers must be careful to distinguish between a "cushion cover" (6304) and a "stuffed cushion" (9404) to avoid customs delays and incorrect duty payments.

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).
