Last updated: July 2026 dataProcessed true hemp fiber that has not yet been spun into yarn — along with tow, yarn waste, and garnetted stock — occupies a legally sensitive classification because Cannabis sativa L. is the same species as controlled-substance cannabis, making origin documentation and THC-content compliance critical at entry. The single US tariff line 5302900000 captures all non-raw, non-spun forms of this fiber. Germany and Canada are the leading suppliers to the US market, reflecting Europe's established industrial hemp processing infrastructure and Canada's mature domestic hemp sector. Importers should confirm that shipments meet USDA Agricultural Marketing Service industrial hemp definitions and carry appropriate phytosanitary documentation.

Classification under HTS 5302900000 requires that the fiber derive from Cannabis sativa L. cultivated within legal THC thresholds. Importers typically must provide a certificate of analysis confirming THC content, a phytosanitary certificate, and documentation of the fiber's processing stage (retted, scutched, or hackled but not spun). CBP may refer shipments to USDA for additional review when documentation is incomplete.
The heading covers hemp that has been retted, broken, scutched, or hackled — processed enough to separate the long-line fiber and short tow from the woody core — but not yet twisted into yarn. Raw or simply retted hemp falls under a separate heading (5302100000), while spun hemp yarn is classified under Chapter 53 yarn headings. Garnetted stock and yarn waste recovered from manufacturing are also included here.
