Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this chapter covers:

• 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 fabrics, silk, woolen fabrics, etc.
• Other fiber products: such as non-woven fabrics, fiber ropes, fiber paper, etc.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies goods based on their material, use, and production process. The "54" chapter is specifically dedicated to the classification of fibers and fiber products due to the unique physical and chemical properties of fibers, which are the basic raw materials of the textile industry and widely used in clothing, home, and industrial fields.

In simple terms, if your product is made of cotton, hemp, silk, wool, synthetic fibers, or is produced using these fibers as raw materials, such as yarns, fabrics, etc., its HS code is likely to start with "54".

8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 5403399040 Classification: Man-made filament yarns (excluding sewing yarn), not in retail packaging, including single filaments with linear density less than 67 decitex, other yarns, other, other, multi-filament yarns with twist of 5 turns or more per meter (606) Explanation: This HS code corresponds to man-made filament yarns, not for retail, and with a filament diameter less than 67 decitex. More specifically, it is classified as multi-filament yarns with a twist of 5 turns or more per meter, belonging to a more specific category of other yarns.

Examples of products: * Polyester filament yarn * Rayon filament yarn * Acrylic filament yarn * Multi-filament yarn with high twist * Non-woven fabric made from synthetic fibers * Fiber ropes * Synthetic fiber paper
