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 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 goods according to their nature and use. The "54" chapter groups all fiber-related products together because these products share a common raw material base—fibers—and play an important role in the textile industry.

In simple terms, if the product you want to classify is cotton, wool, silk, or fabrics and yarns made from these fibers, it is likely to fall under the HS code "54" chapter.

The first four digits of the HS code: 5405

Classification description: Man-made monofilament fibers with a fineness of more than 67 decitex and any cross-sectional dimension not exceeding 1 millimeter; strip-like articles of man-made textile materials, with an apparent width not exceeding 5 millimeters.

The six-digit HS code: 5405.00

Classification: Man-made monofilament fibers with a fineness of more than 67 decitex and any cross-sectional dimension not exceeding 1 mm; strip-like articles of man-made textile materials, with an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm.

Meaning: Refers to man-made monofilament fibers with a fineness of more than 67 decitex and any cross-sectional dimension not exceeding 1 mm, as well as strip-like or similar articles of man-made textile materials with an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm.

The 8-10 digit HS code: 5405003000

Classification: Man-made monofilament fibers (67 decitex or coarser), with any cross-sectional dimension not exceeding 1 millimeter; strip-like or other similar articles (e.g., artificial straw) of man-made textile materials, with an apparent width not exceeding 5 millimeters.

Explanation: This HS code corresponds to man-made monofilament fibers with a fineness of 67 decitex or coarser and any cross-sectional dimension not exceeding 1 millimeter, or strip-like or other similar articles (e.g., artificial straw) of man-made textile materials, with an apparent width not exceeding 5 millimeters. The key points are the fineness (67 decitex or coarser), cross-sectional dimension (not exceeding 1 millimeter), and the form of the product (monofilament fiber or strip-like).

Examples of products: - Monofilament fishing line - Artificial straw for decorative purposes - Textile strips used in industrial applications - High-strength synthetic fibers for technical textiles - Monofilament used in the production of carpets or non-woven fabrics
