HS Code for Acrylic staple fibers

HS code 550630 is designated for synthetic staple fibres of acrylic or modacrylic that have been carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning. This classification is crucial for distinguishing these prepared fibres from their raw, unprocessed counterparts. The term "staple fibres" indicates that these are discontinuous fibres, cut to a specific length, which have undergone initial mechanical processing steps such as carding or combing. These processes align the fibres, remove impurities, and prepare them into a coherent strand, making them suitable for subsequent spinning into yarn. This subheading specifically covers acrylic and modacrylic fibres that are ready for the next stage of textile manufacturing, highlighting their semi-finished state.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

A common misclassification point is with HS code 550330, which covers synthetic staple fibres of acrylic or modacrylic that are not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning. The key distinction between 550630 and 550330 is the processing stage; 550630 is for fibres that have undergone initial preparation for spinning, while 550330 is for unprocessed fibres. Another potential area of confusion is with HS code 550961, which classifies yarn of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres mixed with wool. While both involve acrylic staple fibres, 550630 is for the prepared fibres themselves, whereas 550961 is for the spun yarn, representing a further stage of manufacturing. Accurate classification depends on the specific processing state of the fibres.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Acrylic staple fibers?

The Harmonized System (HS) code for acrylic staple fibers that have been carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning is 550630.

How does HS 550630 differ from HS 550330?

HS 550630 covers acrylic or modacrylic staple fibers that have undergone initial processing steps like carding or combing, preparing them for spinning. In contrast, HS 550330 applies to the same types of staple fibers but in their unprocessed state, meaning they have not yet been prepared for spinning.
