Do I need special documentation for importing synthetic fibre waste?

Yes, you should provide detailed documentation about the type of waste and its origin to ensure proper classification.

Can I use HS-6 550520 for waste from regenerated cellulose fibres?

No, waste from regenerated cellulose fibres should be classified under HS-6 550510 instead.

What are noils in relation to this HS code?

Noils are short fibres that are removed during the spinning process and are classified as waste under HS-6 550520.

Is there a limit on the quantity of waste I can import under this code?

There is no specific limit, but ensure compliance with local regulations and customs requirements.

What should I do if I'm unsure about the classification?

HS-6 550520: Fibres; waste (including noils, yarn waste and garnetted stock), of artificial fibres

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 550520 when importing or exporting waste from artificial fibres, such as yarn waste or noils. For example, if you are dealing with leftover synthetic textile materials from a manufacturing process, this code applies.

This code specifically covers waste materials derived from man-made fibres, distinguishing it from HS-6 550510, which pertains to waste from synthetic staple fibres. If your products include waste from regenerated cellulose fibres, you would use that code instead.

When classifying your shipment, consider that 550520 includes various forms of waste, such as short lengths of yarn that cannot be used in production. This can also include remnants from the production of textiles that are not suitable for resale.

If you have a shipment of noils or other waste from artificial fibres, ensure you document the type of fibre and its origin. This helps customs brokers accurately classify your goods and avoid delays.
