Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The most crucial factor is the exact material composition of your pillows. Is the outer covering cotton, man-made fibers, or a blend? What is the fill material (foam, down, etc.)?
• Decorative Elements: If your pillows have embroidery, lace, or other embellishments, this will affect the classification.
• Plastic Components: If the pillow has significant plastic parts (e.g., a plastic liner, plastic beads), the 3924.90.56.50 code might be relevant.
• Post-April 2, 2025 Duty Changes: Be aware of the significant increase in additional duties coming into effect.
• Certifications: Depending on the destination country, you may need certifications for textile content, flammability, or other safety standards.
• Single Declaration: Consider if you can declare all pillows under a single HS code if they are substantially similar. This can simplify the import process.

To help me refine the classification further, please provide the following information:

• Detailed material breakdown of each pillow type.
• A description of any decorative elements.
• The destination country for the import.
