What decides the code
A bed pillow stuffed with polyester filling is classified as an article of bedding under heading 9404, specifically in subheading 9404.90.20.90.
- The pillow is stuffed or internally fitted with polyester filling, which places it in heading 9404 as an article of bedding.
- It is a pillow rather than a mattress, quilt or pouffe, so it falls under the pillows, cushions and similar furnishings group.
- The filling is polyester, not cellular rubber or plastics, so the residual Other line 9404.90.20.90 applies.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the pillow under heading 6302 as bed linen is wrong because 6302 covers flat goods such as sheets and pillowcases, not stuffed pillows.
- Classifying it under heading 3926 as an article of plastics is wrong because the pillow is stuffed with polyester, not made of cellular rubber or plastics.
- Classifying it under heading 9401 as seat furniture parts is wrong because a bed pillow is bedding, not a part of a seat.
