5402.11.30.50 - Monofilament; multifilament, untwisted or with twist of less than 5 turns per meter 🖩

This HTS classification, 5402.11.30.50, specifically covers single yarns of high tenacity aramid filaments that are not put up for retail sale and have a decitex greater than 920. These yarns are characterized by having fewer than 5 turns per meter, indicating minimal or no twisting. They are typically manufactured from synthetic polymers designed for exceptional strength and heat resistance, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications.

The key differentiator for this category is its designation as "Monofilament; multifilament, untwisted or with twist of less than 5 turns per meter." This distinguishes it from its sibling category, 5402.11.30.70, which covers multifilament yarns of aramids with a twist of 5 turns or more per meter. The lower twist count in this category is crucial for maintaining the yarn's high tensile strength and integrity, often utilized in applications where flexibility is not a primary concern but robust performance is paramount.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 5402.11.30.50 hinges directly on the material (aramid), its high tenacity characteristic, its form as a single yarn, its decitex value exceeding 920, and the minimal twist of less than 5 turns per meter. Examples of end-uses for such yarns include reinforcement in tires, ropes, and specialized protective textiles where extreme durability is required.
