Cotton covers - pillow & cushion covers harmonized system code

Product Overview Cotton Covers - Pillow & Cushion Covers classified under HS Code 630492 are textile articles primarily composed of woven or knitted cotton fabric designed to encase pillows and cushions. These covers serve as removable, protective, and decorative layers, typically sized to standard pillow and cushion dimensions ranging from 40x40 cm to 60x60 cm, with fabric weights commonly between 120-180 g/m². Manufactured through processes including weaving, dyeing, and finishing treatments such as mercerization, these products exhibit attributes like breathability, durability, and ease of maintenance. The HS Code 630492 encompasses subcategories including plain cotton pillow covers, printed or embroidered designs, and quilted cushion covers, each differentiated by construction and surface finish. Commercially, these cotton covers are utilized across hospitality sectors, retail home furnishing outlets, and textile processing industries where they function as essential components for bedding ensembles and upholstered furniture. Their value proposition lies in natural fiber content ensuring hypoallergenic properties and compatibility with various laundering protocols, positioning them competitively within the global textile accessory market. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 630492 falls under Chapter 63: “Other made-up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags”, with Heading 6304 specifying “Other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404”, and Subheading 630492 denoting “Pillow or cushion covers of cotton.” This classification is predicated on the product’s composition (cotton textile materials) and primary function as furnishing accessories distinct from garments or bedding sets. Trade professionals recognize standard packaging formats including polybagging or carton boxing with moisture barrier layers to preserve fabric integrity during transit. Preservation techniques typically involve desiccants and temperature-controlled shipping environments to prevent microbial growth and fabric degradation. Quality standards adhere to ISO 105 (colorfastness), ISO 6330 (domestic washing and drying procedures), and OEKO-TEX® certification criteria for harmful substance limits.
