Fabric hangers Hs Code

Fabric hangers harmonized system code

Product Overview Fabric hangers classified under HS Code 442110 are specialized wardrobe accessories primarily manufactured from wood, designed to support and display garments in retail, processing, and storage environments. These hangers are characterized by their ergonomic shape, smooth finish, and durable construction, typically processed through precision cutting, sanding, and sealing to enhance longevity and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and abrasion. The product range within HS 442110 encompasses various subcategories including single-piece hangers, multi-branch variants for accessories, and reinforced designs tailored for heavy garments. Fabric hangers serve critical roles in apparel retail outlets, garment manufacturing units, and dry-cleaning services, facilitating organized presentation and handling of clothing articles. Their value proposition lies in combining structural integrity with aesthetic appeal, offering superior load-bearing capacity and uniformity in dimensions—commonly ranging from 40 to 45 centimeters in width—thereby optimizing storage efficiency and minimizing fabric deformation during display or transit. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 442110 is structured under Chapter 44 (Wood and articles of wood), Heading 44.21 (Other articles of wood), with the subheading 442110 specifically designated for wooden fabric hangers. This classification is based on the product’s primary material composition and functional use as a garment support device. Trade professionals must note that these hangers are typically packaged in bulk quantities ranging from 50 to 200 units per carton, utilizing protective wrapping materials such as polyethylene films to prevent surface damage during shipment. Preservation methods focus on moisture control, employing desiccants or humidity-regulating packaging to maintain product integrity in various climatic conditions. Shipping requirements adhere to ISPM 15 regulations for wooden packaging, ensuring compliance with international phytosanitary standards. Quality standards align with ISO 9001 for manufacturing processes and ASTM D1036 for wood product specifications, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy, surface smoothness (average surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.8 µm), and absence of chemical contaminants. These parameters facilitate seamless customs clearance and support precise tariff application under the WTO Harmonized System framework.
