What is HS code 5802?
Heading 5802 groups two kinds of cloth. The first is terry towelling, the soft, looped fabric used for towels and bathrobes. The loops are made as the cloth is woven. The second is tufted textile fabric, where yarn is stitched or pushed through a base cloth to build a raised surface.
You may also see this written as HSN code 5802. It is the same heading. The Harmonized System shares its first digits across most countries, so a classification made for one market is a good starting point for another.
Tariff classification begins with the cloth itself. Look at how it is made, then at the fibre it is made from. Those two facts decide which code under this heading applies, or whether the cloth belongs in a different heading altogether.
How to choose between 580210, 580220 and 580230
Ask two simple questions. First, is the cloth woven terry or is it tufted? Second, if it is woven terry, what is it made of? The answers lead you to one code.
Use the list below as a quick guide. The full customs wording is in the table above, and your classification has to match that wording.
- 580220: terry fabric of other textile materials, meaning any fibre that is not cotton.
- 580230: tufted textile fabrics, except products that belong in heading 5703.
What is not classified under 5802
The most common misclassification of terry towelling fabric involves width. Terry cloth that is a narrow strip goes to heading 5806, not here. Both 580210 and 580220 say this in their wording. Check the width before you pick a code.
Tufted carpets are the second trap. Tufted floor coverings belong in heading 5703, and 580230 excludes them. Only tufted fabrics that are not carpets or similar floor coverings stay in 5802.
Other special fabrics in Chapter 58 have their own pages, such as gauze in 5803, embroidery in 5810 and quilted textile products in 5811. If your cloth does not match the terry or tufted description, look at those neighbours next.
When you are unsure, run the product description through the HS code classifier before you file.
