HS Code 5308.10 – Yarn; of coir
HS code 5308.10 is the 6-digit subheading for yarn, of coir. It is used for coir matting yarn, coir geotextile yarn, coir rope yarn, coir brush yarn and coir garden twine.
What HS 5308.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers yarn spun from coir, which is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Coir yarn is known for its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to saltwater, making it a unique natural fiber in international trade. It's primarily used in the production of floor coverings, geotextiles for erosion control, brushes, and marine ropes. Major importers are often countries with significant landscaping, construction, or marine industries, such as the United States, European nations, and Japan, seeking sustainable and robust materials. Exporters are predominantly coconut-producing countries with established coir processing industries, with India and Sri Lanka being the leading global suppliers. Key trade factors include the yarn's thickness, twist, and whether it's treated for specific applications like UV resistance or fire retardancy. The growing demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable products continues to boost the market for coir yarn.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
