Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "58" represent Hemp products; textile materials and articles (excluding clothing and apparel).

Specifically, this category includes the following:

• Hemp products: This includes various woven fabrics, ropes, canvas, etc., made from natural fibers such as flax, hemp, ramie, jute, etc.
• Textile materials and articles: This includes various textile fibers (natural fibers, chemical fibers, etc.), yarns, fabrics, non-woven fabrics, etc.
• Excludes clothing and apparel: It is important to note that this category explicitly excludes clothing and apparel, which are classified under other chapters (such as chapters 61-63).

Reason for classification:

This category is classified based on the nature of the raw materials (hemp fibers or textile fibers) and the product form (material or article). It separates products made from hemp fibers or textile fibers from clothing and apparel, which facilitates trade statistics and management.

In short, if your product is made from hemp fibers or textile fibers, but is not clothing or apparel, it is likely to fall under HS code chapter 58.
