Dog Bed HS Code — Classification, Duty Rates & Import Guide

Dog beds are one of the fastest-growing pet import categories on Amazon, and the HS code depends entirely on what the bed is made of. A plush textile dog bed and a molded plastic dog bed use completely different codes with a 2x duty rate difference.

Dog bed HS codes by material

The material of the outer cover determines the classification, not the fill.

  • 6307.90 — Other made-up textile articles. Covers: fabric dog beds, plush beds, orthopedic beds with textile cover, bolster beds, donut beds. US duty: 7%.
  • 3926.90 — Other articles of plastics. Covers: molded plastic beds, elevated cot-style beds with plastic frame, waterproof plastic-shell beds. US duty: 3.3%.
  • 9404.90 — Other mattresses and bedding. Some thick, mattress-style pet beds may classify here if they resemble human bedding. US duty: 3.6%.
  • 4421.99 — Articles of wood. Wooden elevated dog beds classify here. US duty: 3.3%.

Duty rates by country

Rates vary more than you'd expect for a pet product.

  • US: 6307.90 = 7%, 3926.90 = 3.3%. Textile beds cost 2x the duty of plastic ones.
  • EU: 6307.90 = 6.5%, 3926.90 = 6.5%. No material advantage in the EU.
  • UK: 6307.90 = 6.5%, 3926.90 = 6.5%.
  • Canada: 6307.90 = 10%, 3926.90 = 6.5%. Canada hits textile pet products hard.

The heated bed classification trap

Heated pet beds with an electric heating element may move to HS 8516.29 (electric heating apparatus). The heating function becomes the essential character under GRI 3(b). This pushes duty to 2.7% in the US but triggers additional safety requirements (UL listing).

Self-warming beds (no electricity, just reflective lining) stay in 6307.90. The 'heating' is passive insulation, not an active function.

Frequently asked questions

Does the size of the dog bed affect the HS code?
No. A small cat bed and a giant Great Dane bed use the same HS code. Classification is by material, not size.
What about dog bed covers sold separately?
Removable textile covers classify under 6307.90 on their own. If sold as a complete bed with insert, classify the whole product by outer material.
