HS-4 · Heading
5302 — True hemp (cannabis sativa L.), raw or processed but not spun; tow and waste of true hemp (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)
Chapter 53: Vegetable fibres
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5302 when importing or exporting true hemp, such as raw hemp fibers or processed hemp waste. For example, if you're shipping a batch of raw hemp fibers for textile production, this is the correct code.
When deciding between the two subheadings under HS-4 5302, consider whether your product is raw or retted. If you have untreated hemp fibers, use HS-6 530210. If your shipment consists of processed hemp, including garnetted stock or yarn waste, opt for HS-6 530290.
The distinction between HS-6 530210 and HS-6 530290 is crucial for compliance. Raw or retted hemp fibers fall under the first subheading, while any processed hemp products, including waste materials, should be classified under the second. Ensure you accurately assess your product's state to avoid potential customs issues.
