540419
Monofilament n.e.c. in heading no 5404; of 67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm
Heading 5404 — Synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more, of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm; strip and the like (e.g. artificial straw) of synthetic textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5mm
Chapter 54: Man-made filaments
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 540419 when importing or exporting synthetic monofilament that is 67 decitex or greater, and where no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm. For example, this code applies to fine synthetic fishing lines or thin strands used in crafting.
This code is distinct from HS-6 540410, which covers monofilament of less than 67 decitex. If your product is a thicker monofilament or has a larger cross-section, you will need to classify it differently.
The HS-6 540419 line specifically includes monofilament that does not fall under other categories, meaning it’s not classified elsewhere in heading 5404. It’s crucial to ensure your product meets the criteria of being over 67 decitex and having a maximum cross-section of 1mm.
When considering similar products, note that HS-6 540421 covers synthetic monofilament of a specific diameter and decitex range. Understanding these distinctions will help you avoid misclassification.

- What types of products are classified under HS-6 540419?
- HS-6 540419 covers synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more, with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 1mm. This includes fishing lines, crafting strands, and fine synthetic threads.
- How do I know if my product qualifies for HS-6 540419?
- Check if your product is made of synthetic materials, is 67 decitex or more, and has no cross-sectional dimension exceeding 1mm. If it meets these criteria, it likely qualifies.
- Can I use HS-6 540419 for fishing lines?
- Yes, if the fishing line is synthetic, over 67 decitex, and has a cross-section not exceeding 1mm, it can be classified under HS-6 540419.
- What is the difference between HS-6 540410 and HS-6 540419?
- HS-6 540410 covers synthetic monofilament of less than 67 decitex, while HS-6 540419 is for those of 67 decitex or more. Ensure you measure correctly to classify appropriately.
- What should I do if my product is close to the 67 decitex limit?
- If your product is near the 67 decitex threshold, measure it accurately. If it exceeds 67 decitex, classify it under HS-6 540419; otherwise, consider HS-6 540410.
- Are there any special regulations for importing products under HS-6 540419?
- Check with your local customs authority for specific regulations regarding synthetic materials. Compliance with safety and environmental standards may also apply.
