What decides the code
A camping tent of polyester fabric is classified under heading 6306 as a tent of synthetic fibers, in subheading 6306.22.90.30.
- The article is a tent, so it falls in heading 6306, which covers tents including temporary canopies and similar articles.
- The fabric is polyester, a synthetic fiber, which places the tent in subheading 6306.22.
- The tent is not a backpacking or mountaineering tent of the kind covered by the specific synthetic fiber lines, so it takes the residual Other line 6306.22.90.30.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the tent under 6306.22.10 as a backpacking tent is wrong when the product is a general camping tent, not a tent designed for carrying on the back.
- Classifying the tent under heading 6307 as other made up textile articles is wrong because heading 6306 names tents directly.
- Classifying the tent under heading 6301 as blankets or similar camping goods is wrong because a tent is a structure of textile fabric, not bedding.
