HS Code for Polyester tie

The classification of a polyester tie under HS code 621520 is determined by its material composition and manufacturing method. According to the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, specifically GRI 1 and 6, products are classified based on the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. As this item is an article of apparel accessory not knitted or crocheted, it falls under Chapter 62. Specifically, heading 6215 covers ties, bow ties, and cravats. Since the tie is made from synthetic man-made fibers, specifically polyester, the subheading 621520 is the most appropriate designation. This code excludes items made from silk or silk waste, which are classified under 621510. The woven nature of the fabric is a critical factor, as knitted neckwear is categorized under Chapter 61. Importers must ensure the fiber content is accurately documented as 100% polyester or a polyester-dominant blend to justify this classification. The construction of the tie, including the lining and interlining, does not usually change the classification from 621520 as long as the outer shell is polyester.

Common Misclassification

A frequent error involves confusing 621520 with 611780, which covers knitted or crocheted ties. If the polyester tie is produced via a knitting process rather than weaving, it must be moved to Chapter 61. Additionally, ties made of silk or silk waste are classified under 621510, while those made of other textile materials like cotton or linen fall under 621590. It is essential to verify the weave and fiber origin before assigning the code.
