Questions

HS code 520611: common questions

What is HS code 520611?

HS code 520611 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Cotton yarn (other than sewing thread), containing less than 85 % by weight of cotton, not put up for retail sale : Single yarn, of uncombed fibres : Measuring 714,29 decitex or more (not exceeding 14 metric number)". The first two digits (52) are the chapter — Cotton — and digits 3-4 (5206) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

What products fall under HS 520611?

Common products classified under 520611 include carded cotton yarn, single ply cotton yarn, coarse cotton yarn, low-count cotton yarn, thick cotton yarn, industrial cotton yarn and similar items matching measuring 714. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 520611?

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

Is HS code 520611 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (520611) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
