What decides the line
Start with what the article is. The lines 6301.20.00, 6301.30.00 and 6301.40.00 cover blankets and traveling rugs, and the schedule text says other than electric blankets. An electric blanket is not covered by these lines, so confirm its line in the current HTSUS or with a licensed broker.
Next, fiber. Wool or fine animal hair goes to 6301.20.00, cotton to 6301.30.00 and synthetic fibers to 6301.40.00. The schedule text here does not say how to treat a blanket made of mixed fibers, so confirm that with the current HTSUS or a licensed broker before you file.
Then the subline. For wool or fine animal hair the split is length: 6301.20.00.10 for not over 3 meters in length and 6301.20.00.20 for over 3 meters in length. For cotton the split is construction: 6301.30.00.10 for Woven and 6301.30.00.20 for Other. Synthetic blankets split the same way: 6301.40.00.10 for Woven and 6301.40.00.20 for Other.
Only after the blanket lines fail should you look at 6307.90.98.91, the Other, Other residual line for made up articles. It carries a general rate of 7% and several Chapter 99 headings, so do not use it as a shortcut for a blanket that fits a 6301 line.
Common mistakes
- Filing a cotton blanket under a synthetic line because the fill or trim is synthetic; the 6301.30.00 lines apply to blankets of cotton, so check the fiber the blanket is of and confirm it before filing.
- Entering a woven synthetic blanket under 6301.40.00.20 (Other) when the schedule has 6301.40.00.10 for Woven.
- Using 6301.20.00.10 for a wool blanket that is over 3 meters in length; that length belongs under 6301.20.00.20.
- Stopping at the 6301.30.00 or 6301.20.00 heading when a ten-digit line exists; file the full line, such as 6301.30.00.10 or 6301.20.00.10.
- Leaving out the Chapter 99 headings that are attached to the line; each one is reported as its own line beside the classification.
