Heading 5515Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, n.e.c. in chapter 55

Chapter 55: Man-made staple fibres

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 551529 when importing or exporting woven fabrics made primarily from acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres, especially those mixed with other fibres not specified elsewhere. For example, a shipment of a blended fabric used in upholstery could fall under this code.

This code is specific to woven fabrics that are primarily composed of acrylic or modacrylic fibres, unlike HS-6 551530, which covers woven fabrics made from other synthetic staple fibres. If your fabric is predominantly acrylic but includes a small percentage of polyester, 551529 is the correct classification.

When classifying your product, note that HS-6 551529 is for fabrics that do not fall under specific categories listed in the previous items of this heading. If your fabric is primarily made of another type of synthetic fibre, you may need to consider a different code.

Understanding the nuances between HS-6 551529 and similar codes can help avoid misclassification. Ensure that your product's composition aligns with the definitions provided in the HS nomenclature to streamline customs clearance.
