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 fabric, 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 designed for fibers and their 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 sectors.

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

The first four digits explanation: 5407

Classification: Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 5404.

Meaning: This tariff number includes fabrics woven from synthetic filament yarn, as well as fabrics woven from materials from heading 5404 (e.g., synthetic filament short yarn).
