HS Code 631010

HS code 631010 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Used or new rags, scrap twine, cordage, rope and cables and wornout articles of twine, cordage, rope or cables, of textile materials : Sorted". The first two digits (63) are the chapter — Other made-up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and rags — and digits 3-4 (6310) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 631010 include sorted rags, industrial rags, cleaning rags, textile waste and similar items matching sorted. 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 (631010) 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.
