Sofa cover Hs Code

Sofa cover harmonized system code

Product Overview Sofa covers classified under HS Code 630491 are textile household articles specifically designed to protect and enhance upholstered furniture, particularly sofas. These covers are typically fabricated from woven or knitted fabrics composed primarily of cotton, polyester, or blended fibers, exhibiting high durability and dimensional stability. Processing levels include dyeing, printing, and finishing treatments such as water repellency and stain resistance to meet diverse functional requirements. The product range under subheading 6304.91 encompasses sofa covers distinguished by fabric composition, weave type, and surface treatments, facilitating precise customs classification. Commercially, sofa covers serve critical roles in residential, hospitality, and institutional sectors, providing protective layering against wear, contamination, and environmental damage. Their value proposition lies in extending furniture longevity, ease of maintenance, and adaptability to interior design trends, thereby offering cost-effective solutions for bulk buyers and retailers in global markets. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 630491 falls within Chapter 63 (Textile Articles, Sets, Worn Clothing and Accessories), Heading 6304 (Other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404), and Subheading 6304.91 specifically designates sofa covers. This classification is based on the product’s function as a furnishing textile article distinct from upholstery materials or finished furniture. Trade professionals must adhere to precise packaging norms—typically flat folding or rolled formats using protective polyethylene sleeves—to prevent contamination and deformation during transit. Preservation methods focus on moisture control and pest prevention, complying with international phytosanitary standards. Shipping requirements often mandate clear labeling with fiber content, dimensions (commonly ranging from 150 cm to 250 cm in length), and country of origin to streamline customs clearance. Quality standards conform to ISO 105 (colorfastness), ISO 139 (tensile properties), and OEKO-TEX certification to ensure compliance with global safety and environmental regulations. This detailed classification supports accurate tariff assessment, import/export documentation, and regulatory adherence in international trade operations.
