Heading 6307

Other made up articles, including dress patterns

38 declarable lines

Heading 6307 is the residual heading of chapter 63 for made up textile articles that are not named in another heading. It starts with cleaning cloths and lifejackets in the first two subheadings, then covers labels, cords and tassels, lacings, surgical drapes, pet toys, wall banners, and a large residual 'other' group for towels, shells, flags, face masks and similar items. Duty rates in the heading range from Free to 7% general (MFN), so the subheading choice changes the cost.

How to choose the right subheading

End use or function: cleaning cloth, label, lacing, lifesaving device, surgical drape or pet toy each has its own line.
Fiber content: many lines split cotton from all other fibers, so confirm whether the item is cotton or another material.
Construction for surgical drapes: fabric formed on a base of paper or coated with paper is separated from spunlaced or bonded fiber fabric and from other drapes.
Whether the item is a made up article rather than piece goods, yarn or fabric, since 6307 only takes finished articles.
Whether a more specific heading applies, such as 6301 for blankets, 6302 for linens or 6306 for tents and tarpaulins.

Often confused with

Blankets and traveling rugs
Heading 6301 names blankets specifically, so they are not residual articles of 6307.
Heading 6301
Bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen
Finished linen for beds and tables is named in 6302 and stays out of 6307.
Heading 6302
Curtains, drapes and interior blinds
Window furnishing articles have their own heading in 6303.
Heading 6303
Tarpaulins, awnings, tents and sails
These are named in 6306 and are not classified as other made up articles.
Heading 6306
Used or new rags and scrap cordage
Rags and worn textile scrap go to 6310, not to the cleaning cloth lines of 6307.
