Import Duty on Pet Beds
US general (MFN) import duty rates for Pet Beds range from 3.8%–20.9% across 11 HTS lines (e.g. HTS 6302.31.30 at 11.9%), per USITC HTS release 2026HTSRev22. This is a planning estimate: Section 301, Section 232, AD/CVD, quotas and MPF/HMF are excluded and must be added separately.
A pet bed is either bedding or furnishing, and the tariff schedule treats those two answers very differently.

What changes by country of origin
The MFN rate is the same regardless of where the goods are made. Everything below it is not.
| Origin | Base rate | US preference | What else attaches |
|---|---|---|---|
| China | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | Section 301 lists 1-4A apply to most consumer goods on top of MFN; the 2026 forced-labor 301 action adds a further layer. |
| Vietnam | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty. The 2026 forced-labor 301 action applies. No US FTA, so MFN is the base. |
| India | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. GSP expired, so MFN is the base. |
| Thailand | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. |
| Indonesia | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. |
| Mexico | MFN rate above | No USMCA line on these codes | USMCA: duty-free when the goods meet the rules of origin and the preference is claimed. MFN applies otherwise. |
Free-trade programs named on the lines in this group: Australia (AUSFTA) (11 lines), Bahrain (BHFTA) (11 lines), Chile (CLFTA) (11 lines), Colombia (CTPA) (11 lines), Israel (ILFTA) (11 lines), Jordan (JOFTA) (11 lines). A preference only applies when the goods meet that program's rules of origin and the claim is made on entry. This page does not estimate Section 301 list rates or anti-dumping duty; enter the applicable Section 301 rate in the calculator yourself and verify current list coverage and exclusions at the USTR exclusion notices.
What decides the rate
A bed with a stuffed, upholstered interior is 9404.90. A flat textile mat or blanket sold as pet bedding is Chapter 63. The stuffed version attracts a much higher rate than most importers expect because it is assessed as furnishing rather than as textiles.
Where this goes wrong
Memory-foam bases with a removable cover are usually one article. If the cover is sold separately as a spare, it ships as a textile article under its own line.

Questions this page answers
Is a pet bed classified as bedding or as furniture?
It depends on construction. A bed with a stuffed, upholstered interior sits in 9404.90 at 4.4% to 7.3%. A flat textile mat sold as pet bedding falls to Chapter 63, where rates run from 3.8% to 20.9%.
Does a removable cover change the classification?
A cover sold with the bed is part of the article. A cover sold separately as a spare is a textile article in its own right and needs its own line on the entry.
Does this estimate include anti-dumping duty?
No. Anti-dumping and countervailing duty are case-specific and can exceed every other layer combined, so they are outside the estimate by design. The calculator covers base duty, the Section 301 and 232 layers you enter, the merchandise processing fee and the harbor maintenance fee.
