5402.11.30.30 - Multifilament, with twist of 5 turns or more per meter (606)

This HTS category, 5402.11.30.30, specifically classifies high tenacity multifilament yarn made from aramids, characterized by a twist of 5 turns or more per meter. These yarns are not intended for retail sale and are distinct from synthetic monofilaments. The "high tenacity" aspect signifies yarns with exceptional strength relative to their linear density, making them suitable for demanding applications.

It's crucial to differentiate this classification from its sibling, 5402.11.30.10. The primary distinguishing factor is the degree of twist. While this category requires a twist of 5 turns or more per meter, the sibling category covers untwisted yarn or yarn with a twist of less than 5 turns per meter. Both are high tenacity aramid multifilament yarns not put up for retail sale and not exceeding 920 decitex, but the specific twist application determines the correct classification.

As this node represents a leaf in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to explore. Therefore, classification within 5402.11.30.30 hinges on confirming the material (aramid), form (multifilament), tenacity (high), twist (5 turns or more per meter), and put-up (not for retail sale). Examples of products falling here include yarns used in the manufacturing of ballistic protection, ropes, cables, and structural reinforcement where superior tensile strength is paramount.
