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.
