XI Textiles and Textile Articles
Section-level AHECC page. Use it to move from the broad export commodity family into the correct chapters and then to the final 8-digit item code.
What this section covers
AHECC sections are the broadest grouping level in the export commodity hierarchy. They are useful when you know the commodity family but still need to narrow the result to the correct chapter and 8-digit code.
In practical export work, this page is a navigation layer rather than the code you would put on a declaration.

Frequently asked questions
What does AHECC section XI cover?
Textiles and Textile Articles is a section-level grouping in AHECC. It gathers related export chapters before the classification narrows to chapter and 8-digit item level.
Should I use a section code in an export declaration?
No. Section pages are for navigation. Export declarations need the exact 8-digit export statistical item code.
Why link to the official spreadsheet?
Each section is published by the ABS as an official workbook. The spreadsheet remains the authoritative reference for export coding.
