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, acrylic fibers, etc.
• Fiber yarns and fabrics: including various types of yarns, cotton fabrics, 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 items based on their nature and use. The "54" chapter groups all types of fibers and products made from them into one category because they all have a common raw material base — fibers — and play an important role in the textile industry.

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

The first four digits of the HS code:

HS code: 5403

Classification description: Man-made fiber filament (excluding sewing thread), not retail packed, including man-made monofilament with a linear density less than 67 decitex.

Detailed information:

• Not retail packed: refers to packaging that is not directly sold to consumers.
• Linear density less than 67 decitex: decitex (decitex) is a unit used to measure the linear density of fibers. Monofilaments with a linear density less than 67 decitex are also included in this category.

The six-digit explanation:

HS code: 5403.33

Classification: Man-made fiber filament yarn (excluding sewing thread), not retail packed, including monofilament with a linear density less than 67 decitex.

Specific meaning: Other yarn, monofilament: cellulose acetate fiber: yarn with more than 5 turns per meter.

The 8-10 digit explanation:

HS code: 5403330020
Classification: Man-made fiber filament (excluding sewing thread), not retail packed, including monofilament with a linear density less than 67 decitex: other fibers, monofilament: cellulose acetate fiber: monofilament; multifilament, with no twist or less than 5 turns per meter.
Explanation: This HS code corresponds to man-made fiber filament (excluding sewing thread), not retail packed, and made of cellulose acetate fiber, with a linear density less than 67 decitex. Specifically, it refers to cellulose acetate monofilament or multifilament with less than 5 turns per meter.

Examples of products: * Cellulose acetate monofilament for industrial use
Cellulose acetate multifilament with low twist for textile production
Non-woven fabric made of cellulose acetate fiber
Cellulose acetate rope or cord
Cellulose acetate fiber yarn for industrial applications
