What does heading 6308 of the customs tariff cover?

Heading 6308 covers sets of woven fabric and yarn for making rugs and embroidery. These are made up textile articles intended for various household, industrial and commercial uses. They are manufactured from various textile materials such as cotton, polyester, linen and their blends. Import of these articles into the EU is subject to duty rates of 4% to 12% depending on the product type and material. Products must be labelled in accordance with EU textile labelling requirements and comply with REACH standards. Rules of origin are important for tariff preferences. Heading 6308 is part of Chapter 63 (textiles, fabrics and clothing) of the Combined Nomenclature (CN) used in the European Union. This classification is based on the Harmonized System (HS) developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO), which is used in over 200 countries worldwide. The EU Combined Nomenclature extends the HS with additional 8-digit subheadings, while the TARIC system adds 10-digit codes for identifying specific trade measures. Each 4-digit heading such as 6308 is subdivided into 6-digit (HS), 8-digit (CN) and 10-digit (TARIC) subheadings that specify the type of goods for the purpose of applying the correct duty rates, trade measures and regulatory requirements. Correct determination of the 10-digit code is essential for establishing the amount of customs duties and taxes, as well as required permits and certificates. Classification of goods under heading 6308 must follow the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Combined Nomenclature. Rule 1 states that classification is determined primarily by the terms of the headings and the relevant section or chapter notes. The Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System and the Combined Nomenclature clarify the scope of each heading and are essential references for importers and customs brokers.
