HS Code 991561

HS code 991561 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Apparel goods of Nicaragua, of cotton or man-made fibers, or subject to cotton or man-made fiber restraints, the foregoing described in U.S. note 15(b) to this subchapter and imported into the customs territory of the United States in aggregate quantities not to exceed the quantities set forth in U.S. note 15(c) to this subchapter". The first two digits (99) are the chapter — Special classification provisions — and digits 3-4 (9915) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 991561 include Nicaraguan clothing, cotton apparel, man-made fiber apparel, textile goods from Nicaragua, apparel from Nicaragua and similar items matching apparel goods of nicaragua. 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 (991561) 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.
