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 fibers, etc.
• Fiber yarns and fabrics: including various types of yarns, cotton cloth, 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 fiber-related products together because these products share a common raw material base—fibers—and hold significant importance in the textile industry.

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