Complete Tariff Product Description
What is classified under HS Code 6302.91.00?
HS Code 6302.91.00 covers other toilet linen and kitchen linen, of cotton (Woven cotton kitchen tea towels, bar mops, herringbone dishcloths). In commercial practice these goods are traded as Kitchen Linen made of 100% Cotton Woven Herringbone / Flour Sack, and buyers, factories and customs brokers most often refer to them as tea towel, dish towel, kitchen towel woven.
The code is read level by level: Section XI (Textiles and Textile Articles) narrows to Chapter 63 (Other Made Up Textile Articles, Sets, Worn Clothing), then Heading 6302 (Bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen) and Subheading 6302.91 (Other toilet/kitchen linen, of cotton), ending at the 8-digit tariff line 6302.91.00. The first six digits follow the WCO international standard and stay the same in every country; the final two digits are the national subdivision used for duty assessment and trade statistics.
- Classification is decided by the heading text and the material and construction it names — here, 100% Cotton Woven Herringbone / Flour Sack and Kitchen Linen.
- If a shipment mixes this product with other textile articles, each item is classified under its own heading; goods put up in sets follow the essential-character rule (GIR 3).
- When the same product exists in several materials, the material named in this code (100% Cotton Woven Herringbone / Flour Sack) is the one that must appear on the invoice and packing list.
How to declare HS Code 6302.91.00
- Commercial invoice: print 6302.91.00 next to the item description (Kitchen Linen) with the material composition (100% Cotton Woven Herringbone / Flour Sack) matching the code text exactly.
- Packing list: keep quantities, net and gross weights and carton counts consistent with the invoice line for this code.
- Certificate of Origin & Bill of Lading: repeat the same code so bank document checkers under an L/C and customs officers see one consistent classification across all documents.
- Before shipment: verify the code against the destination country's current tariff schedule — duty rates, restrictions and required certificates are set nationally, not by the HS code itself.
