33 declarable lines

Heading 9404 covers mattress supports, mattresses, sleeping bags, quilts and duvets, and pillows, cushions and similar furnishings that are stuffed, internally fitted, or made of cellular rubber or plastics. The heading splits first by article type: mattress supports (9404.10), mattresses (9404.21 and 9404.29), sleeping bags (9404.30), quilts and duvets (9404.40), and other furnishings such as pillows and cushions (9404.90). Within each group the subheading depends on material, fiber content, filling type, and size.

How to choose the right subheading

  • Identify the article type first: mattress support, mattress, sleeping bag, quilt or duvet, or other furnishing such as a pillow.
  • For mattresses, decide whether the body is cellular rubber or plastics (9404.21) or another material (9404.29).
  • Check size: a width over 91 cm, length over 184 cm and depth over 8 cm routes a mattress to a specific statistical line.
  • Confirm end use: a mattress for a crib or toddler bed has its own line in several subheadings.
  • For quilts, duvets and pillows, determine the outer shell fiber (cotton, man-made fibers, silk or other) and the filling type.
