HS-4 · Heading
5507 — Artificial staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning
Chapter 55: Man-made staple fibres
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5507 when importing artificial staple fibres that have been carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning. For example, if you are bringing in a shipment of processed polyester fibres intended for textile manufacturing, this is the correct classification.
When determining the right code under this heading, consider that HS-6 550700 specifically covers all artificial staple fibres processed for spinning. If your product is a synthetic fibre that has undergone carding or combing, it fits here. However, if your fibres are not processed in this way, they may fall under a different heading.
It's important to note that while HS-4 5507 includes only artificial fibres, other headings in the same chapter cover natural fibres. For instance, if you have cotton or wool fibres, you would need to look at different HS codes. Make sure to differentiate based on the material type and processing method.
