HS Code 6301Blankets and travelling rugs

What HS code 6301 covers

In some countries people call the same number HSN code 6301. It is part of the Harmonized System, the global product list that customs offices use to sort goods.

The heading belongs to the made up textile articles group. These are textile goods that are already cut, sewn or finished, so they are ready to use. A travelling rug (also spelled traveling rug) is a rug or wrap used to keep a person warm on the move, and it sits in the same heading as a bed blanket.

The heading splits into six-digit subheadings. The split follows one simple question: is the blanket electric, and if not, what is it made of? That question drives the whole choice of code.

How to choose the right 6301 code by material

Start with the power source. If the blanket plugs in, it is an electric blanket and the material does not matter. If it does not, look at the main fibre and match it to one of the codes below.

Check the product label or the supplier's specification sheet for the fibre. Then follow this list:

• 630110: electric blankets.
• 630140: blankets and travelling rugs of synthetic fibres, such as polyester.
• 630190: blankets and travelling rugs of any other material, not named elsewhere in the heading.

Wool blankets, cotton blankets and synthetic fibre blankets: common mix-ups

The most common slip is to file a non-electric blanket under 630110 because it is a modern, warm product. Only blankets that are electric belong there. Every other blanket goes to the code for its fibre.

Another slip is to treat wool and fine animal hair as separate choices. Both sit together in 630120. Wool blankets and blankets made of fine animal hair therefore share one code.

Use 630190 with care. It is a catch-all for materials the other codes do not name, so use it only after you have ruled out wool, fine animal hair, cotton and synthetic fibres. When you are unsure, run the product through the HS code classifier before you file.

What HS code 6301 does not include: 6301 vs nearby headings

Many soft home textiles look close to a blanket, but they have their own headings. Sorting them correctly keeps your records clean and keeps your searches accurate.

Sheets and other bed linen are not blankets.

Furnishing articles go to 6304, which leaves out goods that belong to heading 9404. Tents, awnings, sails and camping goods go to 6306. Made up textile articles that fit nowhere else in the chapter, including dress patterns, go to 6307.

A simple test helps. If the item is a covering meant to keep a body warm, think 6301. If it is meant for the bed surface, the table, the window or the camp, look at the neighbouring heading.
