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.
