Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "54" represent Fibers and articles of fiber.

Specifically, this chapter includes:

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

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies goods based on their nature and use, and products in the "54" chapter are all textile materials, mainly used for making clothing, household textiles, industrial textiles, etc. Therefore, they are classified under "Fibers and articles of fiber."

In short, if the product you are looking up is cotton, silk, yarn, fabric, etc., its HS code is likely to start with "54."
