Chapter 67 covers feathers and down, prepared; and articles made of feather or of down; artificial flowers; articles of human hair: a narrow chapter of decorative and craft materials. Classification tip: Down and feather used as filling material (in jackets or bedding) is classified here, but the finished jacket or duvet itself reclassifies under the relevant apparel or bedding chapter, not this one.

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.

Chapter 67 covers feathers and down, prepared; and articles made of feather or of down; artificial flowers; articles of human hair: a narrow chapter of decorative and craft materials. Classification tip: Down and feather used as filling material (in jackets or bedding) is classified here, but the finished jacket or duvet itself reclassifies under the relevant apparel or bedding chapter, not this one.
Pick the heading below that describes the goods, then the six-digit subheading under it. Six digits is the level the Harmonized System defines and the level customs everywhere recognises; anything beyond that is added by the importing country.
The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section XII and to chapter 67. 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.
