Chapter 53: Vegetable fibres

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 5305 when importing or exporting raw or processed vegetable textile fibres like coconut and abaca. For example, if you’re shipping unspun abaca fibres for use in specialty textiles, this code applies.

When deciding between HS-6 530500, ensure your product fits the description of vegetable fibres that are raw or processed but not spun. This includes tow, noils, and waste materials like yarn waste.

If your shipment contains processed forms of these fibres, such as garnetted stock, it still falls under HS-4 5305. Be cautious, as spun fibres would require a different classification.

Consider the specific characteristics of your product, as this heading covers a broad category of vegetable fibres not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.). Ensure your documentation accurately reflects the product type.
