Use HS-6 560490 when importing or exporting textile yarns or strips that are impregnated, coated, or covered with rubber or plastics. For example, if you’re shipping a roll of textile yarn coated with rubber for use in industrial applications, this is the correct code.

This HS-6 line specifically covers yarns and strips made from textile materials that are treated with rubber or plastics, distinguishing them from uncoated textile yarns. For instance, if you have a shipment of textile strips used for making rubberized belts, you would classify them under this code.
