Harmonized System Code Classification

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

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 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 summary, if your product is cotton, wool, silk, polyester, or yarns, fabrics, etc., made from these fibers, its HS code is likely to start with "54".
