HS-6 540219: Yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of high tenacity nylon or other polyamides, textured or not; other than aramids, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 540219 when importing or exporting synthetic filament yarns made from high tenacity nylon or other polyamides, especially those that are not put up for retail sale. For example, a shipment of textured nylon yarn intended for industrial use would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers synthetic monofilament yarns with a thickness of less than 67 decitex. In contrast, HS-6 540220 applies to similar yarns made from aramid fibers, which are known for their heat and chemical resistance.

When classifying under this heading, remember that HS-6 540219 excludes sewing threads and retail-packaged yarns. If you're dealing with high tenacity nylon yarns that are sold in bulk for manufacturing purposes, this is the appropriate classification.

It's important to note that while HS-6 540219 focuses on textured or non-textured nylon and polyamide yarns, other synthetic filament yarns that don’t meet these criteria may fall under different subheadings.
