Headings: 6301
Product description
The instant sample, style name Escape, is a blanket. The blanket is made from 100 percent cotton woven fabric. A 2.5 inch wide woven silk fabric binding encloses all four sides. The blanket will be imported in two sizes that include king (110 x 120 inches) and queen (100 x 100 inches). In your letter you suggest classification of this article as other furnishings under subheading 6304.92.0000, HTSUS, due to the large size of the item. Although slightly larger that the usual sizes this item is not so much larger that it can not used as a blanket. It is made in a manner similar to other blankets and based on your reference to the item as king and queen sized blankets we would assume that it will be sold and advertised as a blanket. This item is designed for protection from the cold and will be classified as a blanket.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the blanket will be 6301.30.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for blanket (other that electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of cotton… woven.
