6301.40.00 - Blankets (other than electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of synthetic fibers

This HTS category, 6301.40.00, encompasses blankets and traveling rugs specifically manufactured from synthetic fibers. These items are designed for warmth and comfort, serving the dual purpose of bedding or personal coverings during travel. The key defining characteristic for inclusion in this classification is the material composition – exclusively synthetic fibers.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike 6301.10.00.00, these are not electric blankets. Furthermore, while 6301.20.00 covers similar items made of wool or fine animal hair, and 6301.30.00 pertains to those made of cotton, this category is reserved solely for blankets and traveling rugs constructed from man-made fibers such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. The residual category, 6301.90.00, is for other types of blankets and traveling rugs not falling into the preceding material-specific classifications.

Within this classification, further distinctions are made based on the manufacturing method. Subcategory 6301.40.00.10 specifically covers woven blankets and traveling rugs of synthetic fibers. The alternative, 6301.40.00.20, applies to other constructions of synthetic fiber blankets and traveling rugs, such as knitted or non-woven varieties, ensuring a comprehensive classification of all synthetic fiber coverings.
