Chapter 55: Man-made staple fibres

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 551692 when importing or exporting dyed woven fabrics made from artificial staple fibers, like polyester or nylon blends. For example, a shipment of polyester-cotton blend fabric used for making clothing would fall under this code.

This code specifically applies to fabrics that are dyed and woven from artificial staple fibers, distinguishing them from other types of fabrics like those made from natural fibers or undyed fabrics. For instance, HS-6 551691 covers similar fabrics but without the dyeing process.

When considering fabrics for upholstery or fashion, it's essential to differentiate between dyed and undyed options. While HS-6 551692 is for dyed fabrics, HS-6 551693 includes printed fabrics, which may have different classification implications.

If you're unsure about the specific type of fabric or its end use, consulting with a customs broker can provide clarity on whether HS-6 551692 is the right classification for your product.
