HS-6 · Subheading
540211
Yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of high tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides, textured or not; of aramids, not for retail sale, not sewing thread
Heading 5402 — Synthetic filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including synthetic monofilament of less than 67 decitex
Chapter 54: Man-made filaments
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 540211 when importing or exporting high tenacity synthetic filament yarns made from nylon or other polyamides, especially those not intended for retail sale. For example, a shipment of textured nylon yarn used in industrial applications would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers monofilament yarns that are less than 67 decitex, which means they are lightweight and suitable for various applications, including textiles and composites. In contrast, HS-6 540212 applies to similar yarns but is focused on those that are put up for retail sale.
When classifying your products, note that HS-6 540211 includes both textured and non-textured yarns. If your yarn is made from aramid fibers, it also fits under this code, distinguishing it from other synthetic yarns that may have different properties or uses.
It's essential to ensure that your yarns are indeed high tenacity and not intended for sewing thread, as those would fall under different classifications. Always check the specifications of your products to determine the correct HS code.
