Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "60" represent cotton, hemp, and other hard fiber plant fibers and their products.

Specifically, this classification includes the following:

• Cotton: Including various types of cotton, such as long staple cotton, short staple cotton, etc.
• Hemp: Including flax, hemp, jute, ramie, etc.
• Hard fiber plant fibers: Such as sisal, coconut fiber, etc.
• Various products made from these fibers: Such as yarn, fabric, knitted goods, clothing, home textiles, etc.

Reason for classification:

The structure of HS codes is based on the material and use of the product. The first two digits "60" are mainly classified based on the common feature that the raw materials are natural fibers, especially cotton, hemp, and hard fiber plant fibers. These fibers are important raw materials in the textile industry, so they and their products are grouped together for management and statistical purposes.

In short, if your product is mainly composed of cotton, hemp, or hard fiber plant fibers, its HS code is likely to start with "60".
