540419

Monofilament n.e.c. in heading no 5404; of 67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm

Heading 5404Synthetic 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.
