HS code for Travel rug: 6301.30

Blankets (other than electric blankets) and travelling rugs, of cotton.

Classification of travel rug under HS 6301.30

Travel rugs made of cotton are classified under HS code 6301.30. This classification follows the structure of Chapter 63, which covers "Other made up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags." Heading 6301 specifically addresses blankets and travelling rugs. According to the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN), blankets and travelling rugs are articles usually made of a thick fabric, often with a napped surface, used for covering the body for warmth. To fall under 6301.30, the primary constituent material must be cotton. This includes rugs that are hemmed or have fringed ends, provided they are clearly intended for use as blankets or wraps rather than as floor coverings. The distinction between a rug used for warmth and a rug used for floor covering is critical for correct classification, as the latter would fall under Chapter 57. Furthermore, Section XI Note 7 defines "made up" articles, which includes items that have been cut to shape, hemmed, or otherwise finished during the manufacturing process. Cotton travel rugs often feature specific weaves or finishes to enhance their thermal properties, but as long as the base material is cotton and the function is for personal warmth, 6301.30 remains the correct code.

Codes often confused with 6301.30

Common mistake. Cotton travel rugs are often misclassified under HS code 5702.99, which covers woven carpets and other textile floor coverings. The distinction lies in the intended use and the finish of the edges. Floor rugs are generally heavier and designed for durability underfoot, while travel rugs are lighter and designed for personal comfort. Additionally, they may be confused with synthetic fiber blankets under 6301.40; however, the material composition must be predominantly cotton to remain in 6301.30. Electric blankets are also excluded and fall under 6301.10.

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).
