HS Code 6214Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like (not knitted or crocheted)

What does HS code 6214 include?

Heading 6214 is for wraps worn on the neck, head or shoulders. The official wording lists shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas and veils, plus items "like" them. A mantilla is a light scarf, often lace, worn over the head and shoulders. A veil is a thin cloth that covers the head or face.

If you search for the scarf HS code or the shawl HSN code, this is the heading you want. People also type HSN code 6214 and mean the same four digits. The heading sits in the textiles section, inside the chapter for apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted. Below it, the six-digit codes split goods by fibre, which is the key step in tariff classification here.

What is the HS code for a scarf and a shawl?

Both go under 6214. The last two digits of the six-digit code tell you the fibre. Use the fibre that makes up the item, not the brand or the style.

• 621410: silk scarves and shawls, including silk waste
• 621420: wool shawls and scarves, including fine animal hair
• 621430: synthetic fibre scarves, such as polyester
• 621440: artificial fibre scarves, such as viscose
• 621490: other textile materials not named above, such as cotton

How to choose the right 6214 code

Start with the fabric label. If the main fibre is silk, use 621410. If it is wool or fine animal hair, use 621420. Synthetic fibres are made from chemicals. Artificial fibres are made from natural plant material that is processed. They have separate codes, 621430 and 621440.

The last code, 621490, is a catch-all. It is for any other textile material that the first four codes do not name. Do not use it just because a blend is hard to judge. Check the fibre rules first, and ask a customs broker when the answer is unclear. The HS code classifier on EximDataX can help you narrow it down.

Knitted scarf HS code vs woven scarf HS code

A knitted or crocheted scarf belongs in the separate chapter for knitted apparel, not here. So the way the item is made matters as much as the fibre.

Some nearby accessories have their own headings. Handkerchiefs go to 6213. Other clothing accessories not named elsewhere go to 6217. If your product is a square of cloth for the nose or pocket, or a tie, do not use 6214.
