HS Code 530500

HS code 530500 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Coconut, abaca (Manila hemp or Musa textilis Nee), ramie and other vegetable textile fibres, not elsewhere specified or included, raw or processed but not spun; tow, noils and waste of these fibres (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)". The first two digits (53) are the chapter — Other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn — and digits 3-4 (5305) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 530500 include coir fiber, abaca, Manila hemp, ramie, vegetable fibers and similar items matching coconut. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

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.

The first 6 digits (530500) 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.

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.
