HS-4 · Heading
6214 — Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like (not knitted or crocheted)
Chapter 62: Articles of apparel, not knitted
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6214 when importing shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and similar items that are not knitted or crocheted. For example, if you're importing a bulk shipment of silk scarves, this heading applies directly to your goods.
To choose the correct HS-6 line under 6214, consider the material of your product. For instance, 621410 is specific to silk or silk waste items, while 621420 covers those made from wool or fine animal hair. Knowing the fabric content is key to proper classification.
If your products are made from synthetic materials, you'll want to use 621430. Conversely, if they are made from artificial fibres, then 621440 is the appropriate code. Products that don't fit these categories but still fall under the general description of heading 6214 should be classified under 621490.
