Products classified under HTS 5302.10.00.00
Raw True Hemp Fiber (Cannabis sativa L.)
Unprocessed fibers extracted from the Cannabis sativa L. plant stalks, raw and unretted, used primarily for textile production. Classified under HTS 5302.10.00.00 as true hemp in its raw state, before any spinning or further processing. Retting may have begun but not completed to separate fibers fully.
Retted Hemp Long Line Fiber
Long, straight fibers from true hemp stalks after water or dew retting to loosen non-fibrous parts, suitable for high-quality yarn spinning. Falls under HTS 5302.10.00.00 as retted true hemp, not yet spun or further refined. Primarily used in apparel and technical textiles.
Dew-Retted Hemp Fiber Bundles
True hemp fibers retted naturally by dew and microbes in fields, bundled for transport, with moderate separation of bast fibers. HTS 5302.10.00.00 covers this raw or retted stage, ideal for rope and coarse fabric production. Common in European hemp farming regions.
Water-Retted True Hemp Fiber
High-quality fibers from true hemp immersed in water for microbial retting, yielding clean, uniform strands for fine spinning. Classified as retted true hemp under HTS 5302.10.00.00, prior to spinning. Preferred for sustainable fabric manufacturing.
Organic Certified Raw Hemp Fiber
Raw fibers from certified organic Cannabis sativa L. crops, unretted and pesticide-free, for premium textile markets. HTS 5302.10.00.00 applies to raw true hemp regardless of organic status. Appeals to sustainable fashion brands.
Hemp Fiber for Technical Textiles
Coarse raw or retted true hemp fibers optimized for composites, geotextiles, and automotive interiors. Under HTS 5302.10.00.00 as raw/retted true hemp, not spun. Industrial strength makes it ideal for non-apparel uses.
