BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.
Classification of polyester staple fibres under CN 5503 20
CN code 5503 20 covers staple fibres of polyester, not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning. Polyester staple fibres are synthetic textile fibres obtained by cutting polyester filaments (polyethylene terephthalate — PET) into lengths typically from 32 to 152 mm. They are used as raw material for yarn production, nonwovens, fillings, and insulation materials. Classification requires the fibres to be polyester, staple, and not processed for spinning — carded or combed fibres are classified under heading 5506. Importers should hold a technical specification covering cut length, fineness (dtex), tenacity, and polymer type.
REACH requirements and import regulations for fibres 5503 20
Importing polyester staple fibres under CN code 5503 20 into the EU is subject to the Union Customs Code and requires an EORI number. Synthetic fibres are subject to REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) — importers should verify that substances used in production (dyes, finishes, antistatics) do not contain SVHC substances. The Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 requires correct fibre composition labelling. Import documentation includes a commercial invoice with technical specification, SDS for finishing substances, certificate of origin, and optionally Oeko-Tex or GOTS certification.
Market and trade measures for polyester fibres 5503 20
Polyester staple fibres under CN code 5503 20 constitute the largest synthetic fibre market segment. Major exporters include China, India, Taiwan, South Korea, and Turkey. Imports from China have historically been subject to anti-dumping duties in the EU — importers should check TARIC for current trade measures. Correct classification requires distinguishing unprocessed staple fibres (5503 20) from carded fibres (5506) and continuous filaments (5402).
Polyester staple fibres CN 5503 20 in the textile chain
CN code 5503 20 covers polyester staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning. These are raw textile materials forming the basis of yarn, woven and knitted fabric production. The EU is a significant importer of these fibres from Asia. When importing, the cut length and fibre thickness (dtex) should be verified, as these parameters may affect classification and potential anti-dumping measures.
Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes staple fibres 5503 20 from filaments 5402?
Staple fibres under code 5503 20 are polyester filament sections cut to a defined length (32-152 mm). Filaments under heading 5402 are continuous fibres of indefinite length. The key criterion is fibre continuity — staple versus continuous.
Are polyester fibres 5503 20 subject to REACH?
Yes. Substances used in polyester fibre production (dyes, finishes) are subject to REACH. Importers should check for SVHC substances and obtain an SDS from the manufacturer.
What anti-dumping duties apply to polyester fibres 5503 20?
Imports of polyester staple fibres from certain countries may be subject to anti-dumping duties imposed by the European Commission. Importers should check TARIC for current measures for subheading 5503 20 and the country of origin.
Are polyester staple fibres CN 5503 20 subject to anti-dumping duties?
Polyester staple fibres from certain countries may be subject to EU anti-dumping duties. Current measures should be checked in the TARIC database by entering the exact CN code 5503 20 and the country of origin.
