HTS code for blanket: facts to check before import

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

Blanket classification depends on the product in the box. A fleece throw, woven blanket, baby blanket, electric blanket, weighted blanket, quilted blanket, and blanket set need different facts before the supplier code is trusted.

quick answer

For hts code for blanket, collect fiber content, construction, size, use, fill or weight, electric components if any, packaging, origin, and supplier code before choosing HTS Candidates.

facts to collect before drafting

Product type: fleece throw, bed blanket, baby blanket, travel blanket, electric blanket, weighted blanket, quilted blanket, picnic blanket, or set.
Fiber content by percentage, including cotton, polyester, acrylic, wool, fleece, microfiber, sherpa, or blends.
Construction: woven, knit, nonwoven, pile, fleece, quilted, filled, laminated, backed, hemmed, bound, or brushed.
Size, weight, GSM, fill material, inner beads, backing material, heat controller, cord, plug, battery, or storage bag.
Use context: bedding, sofa throw, baby use, outdoor use, travel, medical comfort, promotional, or pet use.
Product photos, fiber label, care label, spec sheet, electrical label if any, invoice, product page, and supplier code.
Origin steps for fabric formation, dyeing, cutting, filling, quilting, wiring, assembly, labeling, and packing.

missing facts

Ask for construction, fiber label, and product type first. Missing fill, electric components, backing, size, or origin steps can change the candidate path.

HTS candidate notes

Start with USITC HTS provisions for blankets, bedding, textile articles, electric goods, or filled articles depending on the facts. CROSS rulings can help when they compare blanket construction and imported condition.

authority sources

Use official sources before home-textile category fields. Electric or weighted features should not be hidden inside a generic blanket row.

planning path

Create a blanket table with fiber, construction, size, fill, electrical components, backing, use, origin, supplier code, and missing facts. Attach label photos and packaging photos.

For electric blankets, list the controller, cord, plug, and textile article facts. For weighted blankets, record fill material and distribution. For baby blankets or sets, keep age labeling and included items in the record.

Rejected candidate paths help explain why a throw, bedding article, electric article, or filled textile path was not used.

Blankets also change by season. A lightweight throw, sherpa-backed blanket, and weighted blanket may share a brand family but use different construction. Keep the exact model, size, fill, backing, and label photos in the file.

For electric blankets, do not bury the controller and cord in a textile description. For baby blankets, save age labeling and packaging because the product story is different from an adult throw or bed blanket.

If the blanket ships with a pillow, storage bag, strap, or gift box, list those pieces. For weighted blankets, keep bead material, fill weight, and stitching pattern in the evidence file.

Record whether the blanket is sold for bedding, travel, outdoor use, or pets.

Keep the carton label and retail insert with the product photos for review.
