Questions

HS code 591120: common questions

What is the US import duty for HS code 591120 from China?

As published in the USITC HTS (data as of 2026-07-05), the base MFN rate for 591120 averages about 1.1%, and Section 301 China surcharges apply on covered lines (up to +25%), bringing the effective China-origin rate to roughly 26.1% (averaged across 3 national tariff lines). This is a research estimate — the final rate depends on your full 8-10 digit HTS line; verify on hts.usitc.gov.

What is HS code 591120?

HS code 591120 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Textile products and articles, for technical uses, specified in note 7 to this chapter : Bolting cloth, whether or not made up". The first two digits (59) are the chapter — Impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics — and digits 3-4 (5911) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

What products fall under HS 591120?

Common products classified under 591120 include bolting cloth, silk screen mesh, sieve cloth, filter fabric, screen printing mesh, sifting cloth and similar items matching bolting cloth, whether or not made up. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 591120?

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 591120 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (591120) 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.

Is HSN code 591120 the same as HS code 591120?

Yes at the 6-digit level. India's HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) uses the same WCO base, so HSN 591120 covers the same "bolting cloth, whether or not made up" scope; India then extends it to 8 digits for GST and customs. Check the Indian Customs tariff (CBIC) for the full national line.
