HS code 63101010 – Used or new rags
This classification covers textile materials identified as used or new rags, which are typically remnants, scraps, or worn-out textile articles no longer suitable for their original purpose. Under Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule: a preferential (MFN) import duty of 50%, VAT of 8/10 and measured in “kg”.
What is HS code 63101010?
These rags encompass a variety of textile waste, including fabric offcuts, discarded garments, or other textile articles that have been rendered unusable as clothing or household linens. They are commonly used for industrial wiping, cleaning, polishing, or as raw material for recycling into new textile products, paper, or stuffing. This specific subheading falls under Heading 6310, which broadly covers various forms of textile waste and worn articles, situating it within Chapter 63 dedicated to other made-up textile articles, sets, worn clothing, and rags.
For accurate classification in Vietnam, it is important to distinguish true rags from other textile waste or second-hand clothing. Customs authorities will often assess whether the articles have been deliberately cut, torn, or otherwise processed to render them unusable for their original function, indicating their status as rags. Documentation detailing the condition, origin, and intended use of the textile material, such as declarations from the exporter or importer, can be critical in confirming that the goods meet the criteria for 'used or new rags' under this specific HS code.

A 50% gap - illustrated on a 100,000 USD shipment, that is roughly 50,000 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.
