HS code for Tablecloth: 6302.59
Table linen, of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres), not knitted or crocheted.
Classification of tablecloth under HS 6302.59
A tablecloth made of textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers is classified under HS code 6302.59. This code is part of the broader category for bed, table, toilet, and kitchen linen. The classification is highly dependent on the material composition and the manufacturing method. Subheading 6302.59 specifically excludes cotton (6302.51) and synthetic or artificial fibers (6302.53). Therefore, this code typically applies to high-end or specialty linens made from flax (linen), hemp, silk, or ramie. The items must be "made up," meaning they are finished products ready for use, rather than rolls of fabric. Under the Harmonized System, "table linen" refers to articles such as tablecloths, table runners, and napkins used on a table during meals. The classification remains in 6302.59 regardless of whether the item is embroidered or plain, provided it is not knitted or crocheted and is made of the specified non-cotton, non-synthetic materials.

Codes often confused with 6302.59
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification involves HS code 6302.51 (cotton table linen) or 6302.53 (man-made fiber table linen). Importers often fail to verify the exact fiber percentage, leading to incorrect subheadings. Additionally, plastic or vinyl tablecloths are often wrongly placed here; they should be classified under 3924.90. If the tablecloth is knitted or crocheted, it must be classified under 6302.40, regardless of the material used.

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).
