5402.11.30 - Single yarn

This HTS classification, 5402.11.30, specifically covers single yarns of high tenacity nylon or other polyamides that are of aramids. These yarns are characterized by their superior strength and resilience, often used in applications requiring robust performance. They are not put up for retail sale and fall under the broader category of synthetic filament yarns.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5402.11.60.00, which covers multiple (folded) or cabled yarns. The key difference lies in the construction of the yarn; 5402.11.30 refers to a single strand of yarn, whereas the sibling refers to yarns that have been twisted together to form a more complex structure.

The subcategories beneath this classification differentiate based on the yarn's decitex, a measure of its linear density. "Not more than 920 decitex" and "More than 920 decitex" allow for the precise classification of aramid high tenacity yarns according to their thickness and corresponding strength characteristics, enabling granular tariff application.
