6302.99 Toilet and kitchen linen; of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres)
A full HS code. These six digits are what goes on a customs declaration, and they mean the same thing in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
Section XI, Textiles & Apparel — silk, wool, cotton, man-made fibres, fabrics, carpets and clothing.
- 63 Chapter Textiles, made up articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags
- 02 Heading Bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen
- 99 Subheading Toilet and kitchen linen; of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres)
Chapter 63 covers textiles, made up articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags: bed linen, curtains, towels, and used-clothing exports, rounding out the textile section after fibre (50-56), fabric (58-60) and finished apparel (61-62). Classification tip: Worn/used clothing exports often face separate import bans or restrictions in destination countries (common in parts of East Africa) that go beyond the standard HS duty rate, so check destination-specific policy before shipping bulk used apparel.

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.
Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.

6302.99 covers toilet and kitchen linen; of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres). It sits under heading 63.02 (bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen) in chapter 63, Section XI of the Harmonized System.
It is the international part of it. Six digits are the same in every country that applies the Harmonized System; the importing country then extends them to eight or ten for its own tariff and statistics. Declare 6302.99 plus whatever national digits the destination’s tariff schedule adds to it.
The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section XI and to chapter 63. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.
A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
