Chapter 55: Man-made staple fibres

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 551522 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made primarily from acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers, especially when mixed with wool or fine animal hair. For instance, a shipment of a wool-acrylic blend fabric used in high-end jackets would fall under this code.

This code specifically addresses fabrics that are woven and contain a significant proportion of acrylic or modacrylic fibers, distinguishing them from other synthetic fabrics. For example, HS-6 551521 covers similar fabrics but is not mixed with wool or fine animal hair.

When classifying fabrics, consider the fiber composition and the intended use. Woven fabrics under this HS-6 line are often used in apparel, upholstery, and other textile applications where warmth and durability are desired.

If you're dealing with fabrics that include other synthetic fibers or are not primarily acrylic or modacrylic, you may need to look at different HS-6 codes. Always check the fiber content to ensure accurate classification.
