Classification of jute yarn
CN code 530720 covers multiple or cabled yarn of jute or other textile bast fibres of heading 5303. Jute is one of the cheapest natural fibres, widely used for sacks, packaging, mats, geotextiles and decorative materials. Multiple yarn is produced by twisting two or more single threads, increasing strength. Classification requires identification of the material as jute or other bast fibres of heading 5303 and confirmation of the multiple structure.
Import regulations
Jute yarn import is subject to standard EU customs requirements. Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 governs labelling when textile products are sold. REACH Regulation applies to chemicals from processing. Jute fibres may contain mineral oils from the spinning process subject to control. The GPSR Regulation (EU 2023/988) applies to consumer jute products.
Trade and customs procedures
Importing jute yarn requires a customs declaration with material and yarn structure description. Bangladesh and India are dominant jute exporters, controlling over 90 percent of global production. Tariff preferences under GSP or the EU-Bangladesh trade arrangement can significantly reduce import costs. Documentation includes invoice, specification and certificate of origin.
Importing vegetable fibres and natural textiles CN 5307 20
Jute yarn multiple or cabled CN 5307 20 represents a category of natural vegetable fibres. Classification depends on fibre type (flax, jute, coir, hemp), degree of processing, and intended use. Import into the EU is subject to conventional customs duty and import VAT. Preferences may apply for certain developing countries.
Frequently asked questions
Which fibres does heading 5303 cover?
Heading 5303 covers jute and other textile bast fibres not classified elsewhere. Jute is fibre from Corchorus plants, mainly C. capsularis and C. olitorius. Other bast fibres include kenaf and roselle. Yarn from these fibres is classified under heading 5307.
Is Bangladesh the main jute exporter?
Yes, Bangladesh together with India controls over 90 percent of global jute production. Bangladesh benefits from the Everything But Arms scheme under EU GSP, enabling duty-free import. Bangladesh holds a dominant position as a jute exporter in the global market.
Is jute yarn subject to phytosanitary control?
Jute yarn as a processed product generally does not require a phytosanitary certificate. Raw unspun jute may be subject to phytosanitary controls depending on the country of origin. Processing into yarn reduces phytosanitary risk to a level not requiring certification.
What is the EU duty on jute yarn multiple or cabled CN 5307 20?
Jute yarn multiple or cabled under CN 5307 20 is subject to conventional EU customs duty and import VAT. Check the rate in TARIC. Fibre composition labelling per EU 1007/2011 is mandatory.
