HS Code 591131

HS code 591131 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 : Textile fabrics and felts, endless or fitted with linking devices, of a kind used in papermaking or similar machines (for example, for pulp or asbestoscement) : Weighing less than 650 g/m²". 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.

Common products classified under 591131 include papermaker felt, endless felt, dryer felt, wet felt, press felt, paper machine clothing and similar items matching weighing less than 650 g/m². 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 (591131) 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.
