Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the handkerchief were made of silk or silk waste
Silk handkerchiefs are specifically classified under this subheading, which has a different duty rate.
If any side exceeded 60cm
Larger square articles are classified as shawls, scarves, or similar articles, not handkerchiefs.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the viscose is not blended with another fibre that would change classification; if it contains elastomeric yarn, note Section XI Note 13
• Declare the jacquard weave accurately, as it may affect the fabric's identity
• Verify the dimensions (under 60cm per side) to avoid classification as a scarf
