Last updated: August 2026 dataBed pillows, cushions, bolsters, and similar stuffed furnishings — excluding mattresses and sleeping bags — are classified here, with China and India the dominant US suppliers. The heading's 14 active 10-digit lines segment products by outer-shell fiber (cotton vs. man-made fiber vs. silk vs. other textiles), fill type (foam vs. other fill), and whether the article meets the specific statistical note 6 bed-pillow definition, which turns on dimensional and construction criteria. Importers should confirm textile category numbers and country-of-origin documentation, as this heading is a frequent target of CBP textile enforcement actions.

Statistical note 6 in Chapter 94 defines 'bed pillows' by specific dimensional and construction criteria. Pillows meeting that definition are classified in dedicated lines (e.g., 9404901030, 9404901060 for cotton-shell foam-fill and other-fill bed pillows, and 9404902030, 9404902060 for non-cotton equivalents). Pillows that do not meet the note 6 definition fall into the broader NESOI cushion and similar furnishing lines. Misclassification between these lines is a common audit finding.
Each outer-shell fiber category — cotton (9404909605), man-made fiber (9404909622), silk at 85% or more (9404909623), and other textile materials (9404909636) — carries its own duty rate and textile category number. Because duty rates and quota applicability differ by fiber, accurate fiber-content testing and shell-material identification are essential before classification.
