Sourcing this category from India
HS 53.06 covers flax (linen) yarn. As flax is not grown at scale in India, this yarn heading is largely a classification and re-processing line rather than a domestic-fibre export category.
How to read this code
53.06 is the four-digit HS heading for flax yarn. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many textiles & textile articles lines — check our import guides for your market.
