Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "56" represent fiber products, coarse fabrics, yarns, and fabrics.

Specifically, this chapter covers the following main contents:

• Chapters 50-52: Silk, wool, coarse wool, horsehair, etc., natural fibers
• Chapters 53-55: Flax, jute, ramie, coconut fiber, etc., plant fibers
• Chapter 56: Man-made fibers (such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, etc.) and their coarse products, yarns, and fabrics.

Therefore, if the main component of the product is made of man-made fibers, or belongs to the coarse products, yarns, or fabrics of man-made fibers, its HS code is likely to start with "56".

In short, "56" represents man-made fibers and related products.
