HS Code 5408Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading no. 5404
9 six-digit codes · Heading 8 of 8 in Chapter 54 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 5408 is the customs heading for woven cloth made from artificial filament yarn, such as viscose rayon fabric. This page shows how its codes differ and how to pick the right one.
Heading 5408 closes Chapter 54, the last of its 8headings. Goods answering to “Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading no. 5404” carry 9 six-digit codes here, 540810 through 540834. The heading is number 8 of 8 in Chapter 54, Man-made filaments; strip and the like of man-made textile materials, which runs to 72 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 5408 covers
Heading 5408 is about cloth, not thread. Some traders write the same number as HSN code 5408, but it is the same heading.
The Harmonized System is a shared tariff classification. Customs offices in many countries use it, and the first six digits of a code match everywhere. So a code like 540822 points to the same kind of fabric whichever port you ship through.
Yarn is classed in the earlier headings of the chapter, such as 5403. When that yarn is woven into cloth, the goods move to a fabric heading. This is the heading for artificial filament fabric.
HS 5408 six-digit codes by finish
The codes split into three groups. The first group is a single code, 540810, for woven fabric of high tenacity viscose rayon yarn. The second group, 540821 to 540824, is for fabric that is nearly all artificial filament by weight. The third group, 540831 to 540834, is for fabric of artificial monofilament or strip that is not named elsewhere in the heading.
In the second and third groups, the finish picks the code. Each finish has one code in each group:
- Unbleached or bleached woven fabric: 540821 and 540831
- Dyed: 540822 and 540832
- Yarns of different colours: 540823 and 540833
- Printed: 540824 and 540834
How to choose the right 5408 subheading
Go through three questions in order. Stop at the first answer that fits your cloth.
Question one: is it the viscose rayon cloth described in 540810? If yes, you are done. If no, go on.
Question two: what is the fibre? If the cloth is nearly all artificial filament by weight, pick from 540821 to 540824. If it is made of artificial monofilament or strip, pick from 540831 to 540834.
Question three: what is the finish? Plain cloth, either unbleached or bleached, takes the first code in its group. Dyed cloth takes the second. Cloth woven from yarns of different colours takes the third. Printed cloth takes the fourth. So a dyed filament fabric is 540822, and a printed monofilament fabric is 540834.
Still unsure? The HS code classifier can help you narrow the choice before you file your papers.
5408 vs 5407 and other Chapter 54 headings
Two headings in this chapter cover woven filament cloth. They differ in the yarn. Mixing them up is a common classification mistake.
Check the yarn to be sure. Monofilament and strip have their own headings: 5404 for the synthetic kind and 5405 for the artificial kind. Those headings cover the yarn or strip before weaving. Once it is woven into cloth, you come back to 5407 or 5408.

What is the HS code for dyed artificial filament woven fabric?
Use 540822 when the cloth is nearly all artificial filament by weight. Use 540832 for dyed monofilament cloth.
What is the HS code for printed artificial filament fabric?
Printed cloth is 540824 in the filament group and 540834 in the monofilament group.
What is the HSN code for viscose rayon woven fabric?
Other viscose cloth follows the fibre and finish steps in this page, so it lands between 540821 and 540834.
What is the difference between HS code 5407 and 5408?
The yarn is the test. Heading 5407 takes synthetic filament cloth, while 5408 takes artificial filament cloth.
