HS code 63090000 – Worn clothing and other worn articles
This classification covers textile articles that have been previously used and show signs of wear, including garments, household linens, and other made-up textile products. Under Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule: a preferential (MFN) import duty of 100%, VAT of 8/10 and measured in “kg/chiếc”.
What is HS code 63090000?
Worn clothing and other worn articles falling under this heading encompass a broad range of textile items that are no longer new and are typically imported for purposes such as second-hand resale, donation, or as material for recycling. This includes used apparel, blankets, bed linen, and similar articles that exhibit visible signs of prior use or wear. The heading 6309 specifically addresses these used items, distinguishing them from new textile articles found elsewhere in Chapter 63, which focuses on new made-up textile goods.
When importing into Vietnam, accurately classifying items as 'worn' versus new or nearly new is essential. Customs officials will typically assess the physical condition of the goods, looking for clear indicators of wear, such as fading, minor damage, or general signs of prior use. Items that are merely unfashionable or have been worn minimally but retain their original utility and aesthetic may be classified under their respective new product headings. The actual state of the goods and their intended use upon entry into Vietnam are critical factors in determining their appropriate classification under this specific heading.

A 100% gap - illustrated on a 100,000 USD shipment, that is roughly 100,000 USD saved in import duty.
But only if the shipment has a valid C/O and meets the rules of origin (RVC/CTC, etc.). The wrong C/O form or an RVC shortfall → duty reassessment and penalties at a post-clearance audit.
* The amount is illustrative only, not a commitment. The % gap comes from Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule; the preference actually granted depends on each shipment’s rules of origin.
