Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 560130 when importing or exporting wadding made from textile materials, such as cotton or synthetic fibers. For example, if you are shipping rolls of cotton wadding used for padding in quilts, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers wadding and textile flock, which are often used in upholstery, insulation, and various padding applications. In contrast, HS-6 560131 includes wadding made from non-textile materials, so ensure you classify correctly based on the material composition.
When dealing with textile flock, which consists of short fibers not exceeding 5 mm in length, HS-6 560130 is the right choice. This differs from HS-6 560132, which pertains to textile dust and mill neps, typically considered waste material from textile production.
Understanding the distinctions between these codes is crucial for compliance and accurate duty assessment. If you're unsure whether your product fits this category, consider its material and intended use.
