HS-4 · Heading
5306 — Flax yarn
Chapter 53: Vegetable fibres
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5306 when importing flax yarn, such as single or multiple yarn types. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of single flax yarn for textile production, this code applies directly to your goods.
When deciding between HS-6 530610 and HS-6 530620, consider the structure of your yarn. Single yarn, classified under 530610, is made from a single strand of flax, while multiple yarn, under 530620, consists of two or more strands twisted together, creating a thicker product suitable for different applications.
If your shipment contains a blend of single and multiple yarns, you must classify each type correctly. Misclassification could lead to delays or penalties, so ensure you review the product specifications before finalizing your customs paperwork.
