HS Code 5302True hemp (cannabis sativa l.), raw or processed but not spun; tow and waste of true hemp (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)
2 six-digit codes · Heading 2 of 10 in Chapter 53 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 5302 is the customs heading for true hemp fibre that has not been spun into yarn. It also covers hemp tow and hemp waste.
Heading 5302 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “True hemp (cannabis sativa l.), raw or processed but not spun; tow and waste of true hemp (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)” classify either at 530210 or at 530290, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 2 of 10 in Chapter 53, Vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn and woven fabrics of paper yarn, which runs to 23 six-digit codes in all.
What is HS code 5302?
Heading 5302 is for fibre from the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa L. The fibre comes from the stem. It is a bast fibre, which means it grows in the soft inner layer of the plant stalk.
The goods must be raw or only lightly processed. The key rule is that the fibre is not spun into thread.
Some goods are the leftovers of fibre work. Garnetted stock is one of them. It is fibre pulled apart from rags or scraps so it can be used again.
Many traders write this as HSN code 5302. It is the same code. The first six digits match the world system.
Difference between 530210 and 530290
The split is about how far the fibre has been worked.
Pick 530210 when the hemp is raw or retted. Retted means the stems were soaked or left to rot a little so the fibre can come loose.
Pick 530290 when the hemp has been processed in some other way, but not retted and not spun. This is also the code for hemp tow and waste, which includes yarn waste and garnetted stock. So if you need the HS code for hemp tow and waste, start here.
A quick test helps. Ask whether the fibre is raw or retted. If yes, choose the first code. If it was worked further, or it is a by-product, choose the second.

True hemp vs flax, jute, ramie and hemp yarn
Many fibres carry the word hemp in their name, but they are not all true hemp. This is a common cause of wrong codes.
Jute and other textile bast fibres go to 5303, and that heading says plainly that it leaves out flax, true hemp and ramie.
Abaca, also called Manila hemp, sits in 5305. So do coconut fibre, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres not named elsewhere.
Spun goods have their own headings. Flax yarn is 5306.
