Codes by variant
| Variant | HTS code | General duty | Est. from China |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polyester fleece | 6301.40.00.20 | 8.5% | 21% |
| Cotton | 6301.30.00.10 | 8.4% | 20.9% |
- 6301.40.00.20: Blankets (other than electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of synthetic fibers / Other (666)

What decides the code
A throw blanket is classified in heading 6301 as a non-electric blanket, with the line set by fiber content and, for cotton, by woven construction.
- Fiber content decides the line: polyester fleece falls under 6301.40.00.20 for blankets of synthetic fibers.
- Cotton throws fall under 6301.30.00.10, the line for woven cotton blankets.
- The blanket must be non-electric to stay in heading 6301. An electric blanket is classified elsewhere.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a polyester fleece throw in 6301.30.00.10 is wrong because that line covers cotton, not synthetic fibers.
- Classifying a cotton throw in 6301.40.00.20 is wrong because that line is limited to blankets of synthetic fibers.
- Treating an electric throw as a 6301 blanket is wrong because heading 6301 excludes electric blankets.
