1 six-digit code · Heading 4 of 13 in Chapter 51 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 5104 is the customs heading for garnetted stock, which is fibre torn back into loose form so it can be used again. Read on to see what fits, what does not, and how to choose between nearby headings.
Heading 5104does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Wool, or fine or coarse animal hair; garnetted stock” classify at the single six-digit code 510400. The heading is number 4 of 13 in Chapter 51, Wool, fine or coarse animal hair; horsehair yarn and woven fabric, which runs to 38 six-digit codes in all.

What is covered under HS code 5104
Garnetted stock is loose fibre. A garnett machine pulls yarn scraps, rags and other fibre material apart until it is soft and open again. Mills can then spin it a second time. Think of it as second-life fibre, because it has already been made into something once.
The heading names two fibre types. One is wool. The other is fine or coarse animal hair. Either way, the goods must be garnetted stock to belong here.
Raw fibre and fibre that was carded or combed are classified elsewhere. The WCO Harmonized System sets this split, so every country that uses it for customs tariff classification starts from the same rule.
Six-digit code 510400 and the HSN code 5104
Use 510400 on shipping papers for garnetted wool. Traders in some countries call the heading the HSN code 5104. It is the same heading.
Countries may add extra digits for their own use. Confirm the final code with the customs rules of the country you ship to. To test a product description before you file, try the HS code classifier.
Difference between HS 5103 and 5104
These headings sit side by side and are easy to mix up. Ask one question: was the material torn back into loose fibre on a garnett machine? If yes, it belongs in 5104. If it is other waste, such as yarn waste, look at 5103.
Raw fibre sits in the first two headings of the chapter. Use this list to compare the fibre headings:
- 5101: wool, not carded or combed
- 5102: fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed
- 5103: waste, but not garnetted stock
- 5104: garnetted stock of wool or fine or coarse animal hair
- 5105: carded or combed fibre, including combed wool in fragments
Where 5104 fits in the wool chapter
The chapter follows wool from raw fibre to finished cloth. After the fibre headings come the yarn headings, from 5106 to 5110. Woven fabric headings follow, from 5111 to 5113.
Yarn headings cover spun thread, and fabric headings cover cloth made from it. Neither takes loose fibre. If your product is not garnetted stock, one of those headings is probably a better fit. Open each from the links on this page and read its description.
