HS Code for dyed jute fabric

Dyed jute fabric is classified under HS code 5310.90. Heading 5310 covers woven fabrics of jute or of other textile bast fibers of heading 5303. The heading is split into two subheadings: 5310.10 for unbleached fabrics and 5310.90 for "other" fabrics. The "other" category includes jute fabrics that have been bleached, dyed, or printed. Classification is determined by GRI 1 and 6. Jute is a bast fiber, and the fabric must be woven to fall under this heading. The dyeing process, which occurs after the fabric is woven or by using dyed yarns, moves the product from the 5310.10 category to 5310.90. This classification applies to a wide range of weights and weaves, from lightweight decorative fabrics to heavy-duty industrial dyed hessian, provided the primary material is jute.

Products Included

• Bleached jute canvas
• Printed jute decorative textiles
• Dyed jute scrim for upholstery

Common Misclassification

The most common error is classifying dyed jute under 5310.10, which is strictly for unbleached (grey) fabric. Another frequent mistake is using HS code 6305.10, which is for sacks and bags used for the packing of goods; if the fabric is in rolls and not yet converted into bags, it must stay in 5310. Additionally, fabrics made of synthetic fibers that look like jute are classified in Chapter 54 or 55, and raw jute fibers are classified in 5303.
