RE: The tariff classification of throw blankets from China
Dear Mr. Lickfeld:
In your letter dated April 15, 2026, you requested a tariff classification ruling on two throws on behalf of
your client, CVS Pharmacy, Inc. Samples were provided and will be discarded by this office.
Item 541944, described as a “Halloween Throw Blanket,” is considered a blanket. It is constructed of 100
percent polyester woven fabric. The double-faced monochrome fabric appears to be brushed creating a very
soft texture. The warp and weft yarns extend beyond the edges to form a twisted 4-inch-long self-fringe at
the ends and 3/16-inch-long self-fringe on the sides. The blanket has a woven panel design with each of the
20 panels measuring approximately 12 × 14 inches and depicting a unique design including the Eye of
Providence, fleur-de-lis, candle, broomstick, winged insect, flower, feather, skull, snake, sun, moon, etc. The
blanket measures approximately 51 × 72 inches. The item is designed to provide warmth.
Item 542467, described as a “Day of the Dead Throw Blanket,” is considered a blanket. It is constructed of a
single layer of 100 percent polyester knitted fabric. Though you state in your request “[t]he blanket does not
have a raised pile surface,” the sample received does, indeed, have a raised pile surface. The blanket is of a
plush pile knitted construction and is printed with a “Day of the Dead” repeating motif that includes
decorated skulls, flowers, foliage and banners. The blanket has hemmed edges and measures approximately
54 × 74 inches. The item is designed to provide warmth.
The applicable subheading for Item 541944, the “Halloween Throw Blanket,” will be 6301.40.0010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Blankets and traveling rugs:
Blankets (other than electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of synthetic fibers: Woven.” The general rate of
duty will be 8.4 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for Item 542467, the “Day of the Dead Throw Blanket,” will be 6301.40.0020,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Blankets and traveling rugs:
Blankets (other than electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of synthetic fibers: Other.” The general rate of
duty will be 8.4 percent ad valorem.
The duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided for your convenience
and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided
at https://hts.usitc.gov/.
This ruling does not address the applicability of any additional duties, taxes, fees, exactions and/or other
charges, which may apply to the goods discussed herein. This includes, but is not limited to, tariffs and other
duties as provided for in Subchapter III to Chapter 99, HTSUS. Thus, for example, in addition to the
classification stated above, the merchandise covered by this ruling may also need to be reported with either
the Chapter 99 provision under which an additional tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions
covering exceptions to such tariffs.
