|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 6301.30.00.10 | 8.4% | 20.9% |
| Polyester fleece | 6301.40.00.20 | 8.5% | 21% |

What decides the code
A baby blanket is classified in heading 6301 as a blanket, with the fiber content deciding between the cotton line and the synthetic fiber line.
- Fiber content decides the line. Cotton blankets fall under 6301.30.00.10. Blankets of synthetic fibers fall under 6301.40.00.20.
- Construction matters within the cotton line. Woven cotton blankets take 6301.30.00.10.
- The blanket must not be electric. Electric blankets are excluded from these lines under heading 6301.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a polyester fleece baby blanket as cotton because it feels soft is wrong. The fiber content, not the hand, sets the line.
- Using 6301.40.00.20 for a woven cotton blanket is wrong. That line covers synthetic fiber blankets only.
- Treating a baby blanket as a garment or bedding accessory under another heading is wrong. Heading 6301 covers blankets by name.
