HS Code 5507Artificial staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning
1 six-digit code · Heading 7 of 16 in Chapter 55 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 5507 is where artificial staple fibres go once they are ready to be spun into yarn. This page explains what the heading covers, how it differs from nearby headings, and where to find real shipment records.
Heading 5507does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Artificial staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning” classify at the single six-digit code 550700. The heading is number 7 of 16 in Chapter 55, Man-made staple fibres, which runs to 110 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 5507 covers
Heading 5507 is for artificial staple fibres that have been prepared for spinning. Staple fibres are short fibres, cut to a set length. Artificial means the fibre starts as a natural raw material, such as wood pulp, and a factory process turns it into fibre.
Prepared for spinning means the fibres were carded, combed or otherwise processed. This lines them up so they can be twisted into yarn. Think of 5507 as the step between loose raw fibre and finished yarn.
If the fibres have not had this treatment, they go under a different heading. If they have already been spun, they move on to the yarn headings. The wording of the heading is the test: the fibres must be artificial, they must be staple, and they must be ready for spinning.
HS 5507 classification path and HSN
The Harmonized System sorts goods from broad to narrow. Here is the path for this heading:
Some countries call the same system HSN, so HSN code 5507 points to the same heading. After the international code, many countries add extra digits for their own use. Those national extensions sit beneath 550700 and they differ from one country to the next. Duty and tax rates differ too, so check the tariff of the country you trade with. The HS code classifier can help you confirm the right line before you file.

Difference between HS 5504 and 5507, and other nearby headings
Several headings in Chapter 55 sound close to 5507. A few simple questions separate them: Is the fibre artificial or synthetic? Is it a short staple fibre or a long continuous strand? Has it been prepared for spinning, or has it already been spun?
Artificial fibres are made from natural raw material that is changed in a factory. Synthetic fibres are built from chemicals. This is the main reason the headings below are split the way they are.
- 5507 is the processed version.
- 5502: artificial filament tow. This is a bundle of long continuous strands, not cut staple fibre.

HS Code 5507: common questions
What is HS code 5507?
It sits in Chapter 55, which covers man-made staple fibres.
What does HS 5507 include?
It includes short artificial fibres that have been prepared so they can be spun into yarn. It does not include unprocessed fibres, synthetic fibres, continuous filament tow, or finished yarn.
What is the HS code for artificial staple fibres carded or combed?
Your country may add extra digits after that code.
What is the difference between HS 5504 and 5507?
Both cover artificial staple fibres.
What is the difference between HS 5506 and 5507?
Both cover staple fibres that are processed for spinning.
Is HS code 5507 the same across different countries?
The heading and the international code 550700 are shared by all countries that use the Harmonized System. Countries add their own extra digits, and their duty rates differ.
How do I confirm the correct HS code for artificial staple fibres?
Check the fibre type, the fibre length and whether the fibre has been prepared for spinning. Then compare your result with the nearby headings and test it in the HS code classifier.
