CHAPTER

54 — Man-made filaments; strip and the like of man-made textile materials

In plain English

This category includes artificial monofilament that is at least 67 decitex in size and has a cross-sectional dimension no larger than one millimeter. It also covers strip-like materials, such as artificial straw, made from artificial textile materials with a width of five millimeters or less. The classification distinguishes between items made from synthetic textile materials and those made from other artificial textile materials based on their specific composition.

Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.

Monofilament, synthetic; of 67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm, strip and the like (e.g. artificial straw), of synthetic textile materials with width not over 5mm

Chapter 54 classification notes

Polyester / nylon / rayon dominate. Recycled-content claims (rPET, ECONYL) increasingly require sustainability documentation at destination.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Synthetic vs. artificial — synthetic = made from petrochemicals (polyester, nylon); artificial = made from natural cellulose (rayon, viscose, lyocell).

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
