Complete Tariff Product Description
What is classified under HS Code 5302.10.00?
HS Code 5302.10.00 covers true hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), raw or retted. In commercial practice these goods are traded as Raw Hemp Fiber made of Industrial Hemp, and buyers, factories and customs brokers most often refer to them as hemp fiber, raw hemp, industrial hemp.
The code is read level by level: Section XI (Textiles and Textile Articles) narrows to Chapter 53 (Other Vegetable Textile Fibers), then Heading 5302 (True hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), raw or processed; hemp tow and waste) and Subheading 5302.10 (Raw or retted), ending at the 8-digit tariff line 5302.10.00. The first six digits follow the WCO international standard and stay the same in every country; the final two digits are the national subdivision used for duty assessment and trade statistics.
- Classification is decided by the heading text and the material and construction it names — here, Industrial Hemp and Raw Hemp Fiber.
- If a shipment mixes this product with other textile articles, each item is classified under its own heading; goods put up in sets follow the essential-character rule (GIR 3).
- When the same product exists in several materials, the material named in this code (Industrial Hemp) is the one that must appear on the invoice and packing list.
How to declare HS Code 5302.10.00
- Commercial invoice: print 5302.10.00 next to the item description (Raw Hemp Fiber) with the material composition (Industrial Hemp) matching the code text exactly.
- Packing list: keep quantities, net and gross weights and carton counts consistent with the invoice line for this code.
- Certificate of Origin & Bill of Lading: repeat the same code so bank document checkers under an L/C and customs officers see one consistent classification across all documents.
- Before shipment: verify the code against the destination country's current tariff schedule — duty rates, restrictions and required certificates are set nationally, not by the HS code itself.
