CHAPTER

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

In plain English

This heading covers woven fabrics made from artificial filament yarn, including those derived from specific strip-like materials. The subheadings categorize these fabrics based on their composition and processing. One category is reserved for high-tenacity viscose rayon, while others distinguish between fabrics containing at least 85 percent artificial filament and those made from other artificial monofilaments or strips. Within these groups, the goods are further divided by whether they are unbleached, bleached, dyed, printed, or made from yarns of different colors.

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.
