6214.30 Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like; of synthetic fibres (not knitted or crocheted)
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.
- 62 Chapter Apparel and clothing accessories; not knitted or crocheted
- 14 Heading Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like (not knitted or crocheted)
- 30 Subheading Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like; of synthetic fibres (not knitted or crocheted)
Chapter 62 covers apparel and clothing accessories; not knitted or crocheted: shirts made from woven fabric, trousers, suits, dresses and similar cut-and-sew garments, as distinct from the knitwear in chapter 61. Classification tip: Garment classification also depends on gender/age category (men's, women's, boys', girls', babies') and fibre content, both of which are checked separately from the knit-vs-woven split.

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.

6214.30 covers shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like; of synthetic fibres (not knitted or crocheted). It sits under heading 62.14 (shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like (not knitted or crocheted)) in chapter 62, 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 6214.30 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 62. 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.
