HS-6 540233: Yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), textured, of polyesters, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 540233 when importing or exporting textured polyester monofilament yarn that is not intended for retail sale. For example, if you are shipping rolls of this yarn to a manufacturer for use in industrial applications, this code applies.

This code specifically covers synthetic filament yarns, particularly those made from polyester, that are textured and have a thickness of less than 67 decitex. In contrast, HS-6 540234 covers similar textured yarns but made from polyamides.

When dealing with synthetic filament yarns, it’s important to distinguish between those that are put up for retail sale and those that are not. HS-6 540233 is for bulk, non-retail yarn, while HS-6 540230 includes non-textured polyester yarns.

If you're unsure about the classification, consider the end use of the yarn. Textured polyester monofilament is often used in applications like fishing lines, industrial sewing, or as reinforcement in various products.
