Chapter 53: Vegetable fibres

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 5311 when importing woven fabrics made from vegetable textile fibers or paper yarn. For example, if you're shipping a roll of fabric made from jute or a unique paper yarn blend, this code applies. Understanding the specifics can help you avoid misclassification and potential fines.

When deciding between HS-6 lines, note that 531100 covers fabrics woven from vegetable textile fibers not specified in headings 5309 and 5310, as well as woven fabrics of paper yarn. If your product doesn't fit neatly into those categories, this is likely the right choice.

If you have a fabric made from a blend of vegetable fibers and paper yarn, ensure it aligns with the definitions in HS-6 531100. Products that are primarily made from other specified vegetable fibers should be classified under headings 5309 or 5310 instead.
