5407.94 Fabrics, woven; of synthetic filament yarn, printed, n.e.c. in heading no. 5407

A full HS code. These six digits are what goes on a customs declaration, and they mean the same thing in every country that uses the Harmonized System.

Section XI, Textiles & Apparel — silk, wool, cotton, man-made fibres, fabrics, carpets and clothing.

  1. 54 Chapter Man-made filaments; strip and the like of man-made textile materials
  2. 07 Heading Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading no. 5404
  3. 94 Subheading Fabrics, woven; of synthetic filament yarn, printed, n.e.c. in heading no. 5407

Chapter 54 covers man-made filaments; strip and the like of man-made textile materials: synthetic and artificial continuous fibre yarns like polyester, nylon and rayon filament, plus strip and similar man-made textile materials, before weaving into fabric. Classification tip: Synthetic (petroleum-based, like polyester/nylon) and artificial (cellulose-based, like viscose/rayon) filaments are classified under different headings even though both are 'man-made': confirm which category the fibre falls into.

Other codes under 54.07

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.

Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.

5407.94 FAQ

5407.94 covers fabrics, woven; of synthetic filament yarn, printed, n.e.c. in heading no. 5407. It sits under heading 54.07 (woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading no. 5404) in chapter 54, Section XI of the Harmonized System.

It is the international part of it. Six digits are the same in every country that applies the Harmonized System; the importing country then extends them to eight or ten for its own tariff and statistics. Declare 5407.94 plus whatever national digits the destination’s tariff schedule adds to it.

The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section XI and to chapter 54. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.

A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
