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.
• Textile yarns, fabrics, and knitted goods: including various types of yarns, fabrics, and knitted products.
• Other fiber products: such as non-woven fabrics, carpets, ropes, fishing nets, etc.

Reason for classification:

The establishment of the "54" chapter is to classify various fiber raw materials and fiber products that have undergone different processing, making it easier for customs to statistically manage trade data and implement corresponding trade policies for different types of fiber products.

In short, if your product is made of fiber or is made from fiber, it likely falls under the "54" chapter.
