Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 5605 when importing metallised yarns, such as those used in decorative textiles or craft projects. For example, a shipment of yarn that combines polyester with metallic threads for use in fashion accessories falls under this heading.

The classification under 5605 primarily concerns yarns that are metallised or gimped, specifically those made from textile yarns or strips from headings 5404 or 5405. If your product is a simple textile yarn without metallic elements, you may need to look at different headings.

When considering the subheading 560500, ensure your product is indeed metallised. If your yarn is merely a textile type without any metallic coating or combination, it does not qualify under this heading and should be classified elsewhere.
