Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "56" represent fiber products, cotton waste, cotton linters, yarns, and textile goods.

Specifically, this category includes the following:

• Cotton linters, cotton waste: Includes various cotton linters, cotton waste, cotton residue, etc.
• Yarns: Includes various textile yarns, such as cotton yarn, hemp yarn, silk yarn, synthetic fiber yarn, etc.
• Textile goods: Includes various textile products produced by weaving, knitting, crocheting, etc., such as cotton fabric, hemp fabric, silk fabric, synthetic fiber fabric, nonwoven fabric, etc.

Reason for classification:

This category is classified based on the type of raw material (fiber) and the form of the product. The main focus is on what kind of fiber the product is made of and what the final form of the product is, whether it is cotton linters, yarn, or textile goods.

In short, if the product is a fiber product, cotton linters, cotton waste, yarn, or textile goods, its HS code is likely to start with "56".

To determine the HS code more accurately, further information about the product's specific composition, use, structure, etc., is needed.
