Markets and duty

Who actually supplies this trade, and what each market charges at the border before you check the price.

Who supplies America, all of chapter 63

The tables above are one product at a time. This is the whole of chapter 63, made up textiles, added together, so you can see the shape of the trade rather than the shape of one heading. Chapter 94 quilts and pillows and chapter 57 rugs are not in this total, because they are not chapter 63.

What this means for the supplier country table

What this is The twelve largest suppliers of made up textiles, HS chapter 63, to the United States, by customs value in 2025, their share of the twelve in each of the 3 years 2023 to 2025, the move on 2024, and the move across the whole span.

How to read it One row per country, largest first. The 3 share columns are the point of the table: read them left to right and you see who is taking this trade and who is handing it over, which one year on its own cannot tell you. A share is a share of these twelve suppliers, not of every country in the world, so the shares add to one hundred by construction. The last two columns are value, not share, so a country can lose share while its own value holds up if the whole market grew.

What moves it Duty and trade policy first, because a rate change moves an order between countries within one season. Then capacity, which in this trade means looms and terry weaving lines that take two years to install, so a share moving fast is nearly always somebody else losing rather than new capacity arriving. Then cotton, because the countries that grow it can absorb a cotton rise better than the countries that import it.

How to use it Before you commit to an origin, check that it is not the one losing share in your own category three years running. A supplier country in decline gets harder to buy from every season: the good mills fill their remaining lines with their oldest customers first. A country gaining share across the whole span is the one adding lines, and a new customer is worth more to it than to a mill that is already full.

The trap Reading a share as a measure of capability. These are shares of what America chose to buy, not of what each country can make. A supplier can be losing share because of a duty change or a freight route while its own mills sit half empty and would take your order tomorrow. Use the direction to see where the orders are going, then ask the mill itself what capacity is actually free.

The twelve suppliers tracked here are the twelve largest sellers of HS chapter 63 to the United States, measured rather than chosen. "Other Asia, not specified" is a UN Comtrade reporting bucket, not a country.

Total of the twelve: $12.89B in 2025. Shares are of that total in the year at the top of the column, not of every country shipping to the United States, so a share can rise in a year when the country's own value fell.

A completed year is the revised figure and does not move after publication, which is why this page carries no part year: the newest months are preliminary, get revised upward as late entries are filed, and are far too small a sample to place an order on.

What the duty is

The reason this table is on the buying page rather than only in the reference section. In garments the rate barely moves within a market, so it is a lookup you do once. In home textiles one bedroom set can split across two chapters at two very different rates, in the same carton, on the same invoice.

What this means for the home textile duty table

What this is The base import duty on fifteen home textile lines into the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, with the tariff code each figure was read from so you can check it yourself.

How to read it Find the row nearest your product, then read across to the market you are selling into. Where a row shows a range, the United States charges different rates at ten digit level inside one six digit heading, and the code named beside the range is the one the range was read from.

What moves it Trade policy and preference schemes, not the market. A rate can sit still for years and then change with a trade agreement, a preference scheme being granted or withdrawn, or a safeguard. The date on this table is the date the schedule was read, and it is the only date that matters.

How to use it Put the rate for your own code into your landed cost before you commit to a target retail price. On a filled quilt into Britain against its cover, the difference between the two rates is large enough to decide whether the set works at your price at all.

The trap Assuming the whole set clears at one rate. Chapter 63 covers the cover, the sheet and the pillowcase; chapter 94 covers the filled quilt and the pillow inside it; chapter 57 covers the rug. Three chapters, three rates, one delivery.

Base import duty on home textiles into the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, read 1 September 2026
Product HS United States European Union United Kingdom
Printed cotton bed linen The clearest example on this site of why a six digit code cannot price an import. The same printed cotton sheet is 2.5 per cent napped, 6.7 per cent not napped, 11.9 per cent napped with a piped or embroidered edge and 20.9 per cent not napped with one. A trim decision is a duty decision. 6302.21 2.5% to 20.9% 6302.21.90 at 6.7% 12.00% 6302 21 00 89 12.00% 6302 21 00 89
Cotton bed linen, not printed The largest single bed linen line into the United States, and it splits exactly like the printed one: 3.8 per cent napped, 6.7 per cent not napped, and 11.9 or 20.9 per cent once there is embroidery, lace, braid, an edging, a trimming, piping or applique work on it. 6302.31 3.8% to 20.9% 6302.31.90 at 6.7% 12.00% 6302 31 00 00 12.00% 6302 31 00 00
Man made fibre bed linen Polyester and poly cotton sheeting. Note the American rate is roughly double the cotton one at 11.4 against 6.7 per cent, so on a US programme the fibre choice moves the duty as well as the cloth price. In Europe and Britain both fibres pay the same 12 per cent. 6302.22 and 6302.32 11.4%, or 14.9% trimmed 6302.22.20 and 6302.32.20 12.00% 6302 22 90 00 and 6302 32 90 00 12.00% 6302 22 90 00 and 6302 32 90 00
Cotton terry towels and toilet linen One heading covers a bath towel and a kitchen dish cloth, and one of the few lines where the United States is cheaper than Europe. There is no trim split here: 9.1 per cent is the whole American subheading. 6302.60 9.1% 6302.60.00 12.00% 6302 60 00 90 12.00% 6302 60 00 90
Cotton table linen The American split is by weave, not by trim: plain woven tablecloths and napkins are 4.8 per cent, damask 6.1 per cent, other 5.8 per cent, and anything that is not a tablecloth or napkin 6.3 per cent. 6302.51 4.8% to 6.3% 6302.51.20.00 at 4.8% 12.00% 6302 51 00 90 12.00% 6302 51 00 90
Cotton curtains and interior blinds European and British declarations split net curtains out from the rest at ten digits, so check which of the two your make actually is before the entry is filed. 6303.91 10.3% 6303.91.00 12.00% 6303 91 00 99 12.00% 6303 91 00 99
Synthetic fibre curtains and interior blinds The largest curtain line into the United States by a wide margin. Both American sub-lines read 11.3 per cent, so unusually the classification does not move the rate here. 6303.92 11.3% 6303.92.20 12.00% 6303 92 90 90 12.00% 6303 92 90 90
Cotton cushion covers and furnishing articles The heading is written as everything excluding chapter 9404, so an unfilled cushion COVER is here at 6.3 per cent into the United States while the same cushion sold filled is 9404.90 at 4.4 to 7.3 per cent. Filled or unfilled is a different chapter, not a different sub-line. 6304.92 6.3% 6304.92.00.00 12.00% 6304 92 00 90 12.00% 6304 92 00 90
Quilts, duvets and comforters The widest three market gap on this page, and it runs the opposite way to everything above it. A filled duvet enters Britain at 2 per cent and the European Union at 3.7, while the duvet COVER for the same bed is 12 per cent in both. The American line turns on trim again: 4.4 per cent for cotton with no embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming or piping, and 12.8 per cent the moment there is any. 9404.40 4.4% plain cotton, 12.8% other 9404.40.10.00 and 9404.40.90 3.70% 9404 40 90 00 2.00% 9404 40 90 00
Pillows, cushions and other filled bedding Same shape as the duvet line: 4.4 per cent for untrimmed cotton, 5.3 and 6 per cent on the older cotton and other sub-lines, 7.3 per cent for the rest. 9404.90 4.4% to 7.3% 9404.90.81.00 at 4.4% 3.70% 9404 90 90 00 2.00% 9404 90 90 00
Cotton blankets and throws One of the few home textile lines where Britain and Europe are both cheaper than the United States, and where they differ from each other. 6301.30 8.4% 6301.30.00 7.50% 6301 30 90 90 6.00% 6301 30 90 90
Synthetic fibre blankets and throws Worth reading against the cotton row directly above. The American rate barely moves between the two fibres, 8.4 against 8.5 per cent, while the European rate jumps from 7.5 to 12 and the British from 6 to 12. On a fleece throw for Europe the fibre choice is worth 4.5 points of duty. 6301.40 8.5% 6301.40.00 12.00% 6301 40 90 99 12.00% 6301 40 90 99
Woven pile rugs, man made fibre The largest rug line into the United States, and it enters duty free, which is the single biggest market to market difference in this table. The same rug pays 8 per cent into Europe or Britain. 5702.42 Free 5702.42.10.00 and 5702.42.20 8.00% 5702 42 00 00 8.00% 5702 42 00 00
Tufted rugs, wool Both American sub-lines read 6 per cent, hand hooked or not. 5703.10 6% 5703.10.80.00 8.00% 5703 10 00 00 8.00% 5703 10 00 00
Tufted rugs, man made fibre Watch the neighbouring code rather than the rate here. HS 5703.21 and 5703.31 in the same heading are artificial TURF, not rugs, and European and British declarations name turf explicitly at ten digits. A rug filed against a turf line is a rejected entry. 5703.39 6% 5703.39.20 8.00% 5703 39 99 00 8.00% 5703 39 99 00

This is the base rate only. It is the rate that applies with no preference claimed. It does not include anti dumping duty, safeguard measures, the United States merchandise processing and harbour maintenance fees, or any additional tariff imposed outside the schedule. It also does not include a preference you may be entitled to, which can take a rate to zero. Your customs broker prices the actual entry; this table tells you what to expect and what to ask them.

Where the European figures come from. The European Union rates are read from the Northern Ireland tariff service, which applies the EU Common Customs Tariff under the Windsor Framework, because the EU TARIC database will not serve a plain machine read. They were cross checked against the Great Britain schedule on the same codes and do differ from it, which is the check that they are genuinely the European schedule and not a second copy of the British one.
