Last updated: August 2026 dataTerry toweling — characterized by its looped pile construction that maximizes absorbency — defines this heading, which covers bath towels, hand towels, dish towels, and related kitchen linen made from cotton terry or similar cotton terry fabrics. The US schedule separates dish towels (6302600010) from other towels such as bath and hand towels (6302600020) and non-towel toilet and kitchen linen in terry fabric (6302600030). Cotton terry towels are among the most actively traded household textile items entering the US, and goods from several major supplier countries have been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders in the past, making AD/CVD scope review a routine step in the import process. Importers should verify that the terry construction meets CBP's loop-pile criteria, as cut-pile or flat-woven cotton towels are classified elsewhere.

Yes. Cotton terry towels from certain countries have been subject to antidumping and/or countervailing duty orders issued by the US Department of Commerce. Importers should check the current scope of any active orders with the International Trade Administration and conduct a scope ruling review before importing, as AD/CVD liability can be substantial and retroactive.
Terry toweling is a woven fabric with uncut loops formed during weaving, giving it its characteristic absorbent texture. Pile or tufted constructions, by contrast, involve cut or uncut loops inserted into a base fabric by needling or tufting. Towels of pile or tufted construction — even if cotton — are classified under 630291, not 630260. The manufacturing method and fabric structure should be documented by the supplier.
