Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "55" represent steel.

Specifically, Chapter 55 covers the following steel products:

• Semi-finished steel products: such as plates, bars, sections, wires, etc.
• Flat-rolled products: including hot-rolled, cold-rolled, galvanized, and other flat-shaped steel products.
• Steel pipes: various sizes and materials of steel pipes.
• Other steel products: such as nails, bolts, nuts, steel ropes, etc.

Therefore, if your product is made of steel or mainly composed of steel, its HS code is likely to start with "55".

To determine the classification more accurately, you need to check more detailed information about the product's material, shape, and use.

First four digits explanation: HS code: 5503

6-digit explanation: HS code: 5503.20

Classification: Synthetic short fibers, not carded, not combed or not otherwise spun processed synthetic short fibers.

Specific meaning: Other synthetic fibers, with a measurement value less than 13.2 decitex.

8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 5503200015 Classification: Synthetic short fibers, not carded, not combed or otherwise processed for spinning: --> polyester fiber --> outer layer is a copolyester shell, with a melting point lower than the core material, used to bond the fibers together.

Explanation: This HS code corresponds to synthetic short fibers that have not been carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning, specifically polyester fibers, with an outer layer of a copolyester shell whose melting point is lower than the core material, used to bond the fibers together.

Examples of products that may fall under this HS code:

• Polyester short fibers for nonwoven fabric production
• Synthetic fibers used in the production of industrial filters
• Bonding fibers for composite materials
• Polyester fiber used in the production of insulation materials
• Synthetic short fibers used in the production of carpet backing
