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 fabric, fiber ropes, fiber paper, etc.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies goods based on their nature, use, and material. The "54" chapter groups all fibers and related products together because these items are primarily composed of fibers and play an important role in the textile industry. They are basic materials for producing clothing, household textiles, industrial textiles, etc.

In short, if your product is mainly composed of fibers or falls within the category of fiber products, it likely belongs to the HS code "54" chapter.

The first four digits of the HS code: 5402

Classification description: Synthetic filament yarns (excluding sewing thread), not in retail packaging, including synthetic monofilament yarns with a count less than 67 decitex.

Specific meaning: Refers to synthetic filament yarns not packaged for retail sale, excluding sewing thread, and synthetic monofilament yarns with a count less than 67 decitex.

The six-digit HS code: 5402.49

Classification: Synthetic filament yarns (non-sewing use), not in retail packaging, including synthetic monofilament yarns with a count less than 67 decitex.

Specific meaning:

• Other yarns: refers to single or slightly twisted synthetic filament yarns with a twist not exceeding 50 turns per meter.
• Other: refers to synthetic filament yarns not falling into the above specific categories.
• Multi-filament yarns with a twist of 5 turns or more per meter: refers to multi-filament synthetic yarns with a twist of 5 turns or more per meter.
• Other (606): refers to multi-filament synthetic yarns not falling into the above specific categories.

8-10 digit HS code explanation: 5402499115

Classification: Synthetic filament yarns (excluding sewing thread), not in retail packaging, including synthetic monofilament yarns with a count less than 67 decitex — Other yarns, single, untwisted or with a twist not exceeding 50 turns per meter — Other — Other — Monofilament fibers; multifilament fibers, untwisted or with a twist of less than 5 turns per meter — Polyethylene made.

Explanation: This HS code belongs to synthetic filament yarns, not packaged for retail sale, and monofilament fibers with a count less than 67 decitex. It is further classified as other yarns, single, untwisted or with a twist not exceeding 50 turns per meter, further classified as other, other, monofilament or multifilament fibers, untwisted or with a twist of less than 5 turns per meter, and finally classified as polyethylene made.

Product examples: - Polyethylene monofilament yarn - Synthetic multifilament yarn for industrial use - Non-woven fabric made from polyethylene fibers - Synthetic filament yarn used in non-sewing applications - Yarn for technical textiles made from polyethylene
