Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 531090 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made from jute or other textile bast fibres, excluding unbleached varieties. For example, if you're shipping a roll of jute fabric used for making bags, this code applies.

This code specifically covers woven fabrics that are dyed or bleached, distinguishing them from HS-6 531091, which pertains to unbleached fabrics. If your product is a finished jute tablecloth that has been dyed, 531090 is the correct classification.

Woven fabrics made from other bast fibres, such as ramie or kenaf, also fall under this code. If you're dealing with a shipment of dyed ramie fabric, you would still use HS-6 531090.

Be aware that this code does not apply to non-woven fabrics or those made from synthetic fibres. If your product is a synthetic blend, you might need to look at different HS codes.
