The first 6 digits are the same in every country that uses HS 2022. Each country adds 2–4 more digits and sets the duty in its own tariff, and the section and chapter notes can include or exclude products, so check the destination’s official tariff before you put the code on the invoice.

Common questions

What is HS code 5501?

5501 is the HS 2022 heading for Synthetic filament tow. It is in chapter 55 (Man-made staple fibres), section XI, and has 6 six-digit subheadings, from 5501.11 to 5501.90.

Can I write 5501 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 5501.11), and the import declaration uses the destination country’s full code of 8 to 10 digits. Use the subheading that matches your product, and confirm the national digits with the buyer, the customs broker or the official tariff.
