1 six-digit code · Heading 5 of 9 in Chapter 56 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 5605 is the customs heading for metallised yarn, also spelled metallized yarn. It is made by adding metal to textile yarn.
Heading 5605does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Yarn; metallised, whether or not gimped, of textile yarn, or strip or the like of heading no. 5404 or 5405, combined with metal in the form of thread, strip or powder or covered with metal” classify at the single six-digit code 560500. The heading is number 5 of 9 in Chapter 56, Wadding, felt and nonwovens, special yarns; twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof, which runs to 30 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 5605 covers: metallised yarn
Metallised yarn is yarn with metal added to it. The metal can be a thread, a strip or a powder. It can also be a thin metal layer on the outside. The base is textile yarn, or a strip of the kind classed in heading 5404 or 5405.
Traders use other names for the same goods. You may hear metal yarn, or textile yarn combined with metal. Indian traders often say HSN code 5605. US traders may say HTS code 5605. All of these point to one heading.
The wording of the heading allows the yarn to be gimped or not. So a metal yarn does not leave this heading just because it has been twisted around another thread. What matters is the metal and the base yarn, not the finish.
How to read the code 560500
A six-digit HS code works like an address. The first two digits give the chapter, which is 56. The first four give the heading, which is 5605. All six give the code, 560500. You may also see it written as 5605.00, with a dot.
Because only one code sits under this heading, there is no choice to make between subheadings at six digits. Your task is simply to decide whether the yarn belongs in the heading at all.
5605 vs 5604, 5606 and 5607: choosing the right heading
Special yarns in Chapter 56 can look alike on a spec sheet. Ask two questions. What is the yarn made of? What has been added to it? Then compare the headings below.
The mix-up people ask about most is 5605 against 5606. If metal is the added part, think 5605. If the goods are gimped yarn, chenille yarn or loop wale-yarn, read the 5606 text next. Metal is not the point of that heading.
Check the exact make-up of the yarn before you pick a code. A small change in what is added can change the heading. If you are unsure, try the HS code classifier, then confirm with your customs broker.
- 5609: finished articles made from yarn or strip, and rope goods not named elsewhere.
