Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "54" represent fibers and their products.

Specifically, this chapter covers:

• Natural fibers: such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp, etc.
• Man-made fibers: such as rayon, polyester, polypropylene, etc.
• Fiber yarns and fabrics: including various types of yarns, cotton fabric, silk, woolen fabrics, etc.
• Other fiber products: such as non-woven fabric, fiber ropes, fiber bags, etc.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies goods based on their nature and use. The "54" chapter groups all fiber-related products together because these products share a common raw material base — fiber — and play an important role in the textile industry.

In simple terms, if the product you are classifying is cotton, wool, silk, or fabric made from these fibers, it is likely to fall under the HS code "54" chapter.

The first four digits of the HS code: 5402

Classification Description: Synthetic filament yarns (excluding sewing thread), not retail packed, including synthetic filament yarns with a count less than 67 dtex.

Specific Meaning: Refers to synthetic filament yarns that are not retail packed, which also includes synthetic filament yarns with a count less than 67 dtex.

The six-digit explanation: HS code: 5402.11

Classification: Synthetic filament yarns (not for sewing), not retail packed, including synthetic filament yarns with a count less than 67 dtex: → High-strength nylon or other polyamide filament yarns, whether or not stretched and deformed: → Aramid filament yarns: → Multi-filament (folded) or rope (606)

Meaning: This HS code refers to synthetic filament yarns that are not retail packed, particularly high-strength nylon or other polyamide filament yarns, and aramid filament yarns, which are typically in the form of multi-filament (folded) or rope.

8-10 digit explanation: HS code: 5402113050 Classification: Synthetic yarns (not for sewing), not retail packed, including synthetic filament yarns with a count less than 67 dtex: → high-strength nylon or other polyamide yarns, whether or not stretched: → aramid: → single yarn → more than 920 dtex: → filament fiber; multifilament fiber, with no twist or less than 5 turns per meter

Explanation: This HS code classification is for high-strength aramid single yarn with a count greater than 920 dtex, which is filament fiber or multifilament fiber with less than 5 turns per meter. The key characteristics of this classification are fiber type (aramid), yarn form (single yarn), strength (high-strength), dtex value (greater than 920), and twist (less than 5 turns per meter).

Example products: * Aramid fiber rope for industrial applications * High-strength aramid filament yarn for aerospace use * Aramid single yarn with high dtex count for bulletproof vests * Aramid multifilament yarn with low twist for specialized textile applications
