5402.11.30.70 - Multifilament, with twist of 5 turns or more per meter (606)

This HTS classification, 5402.11.30.70, covers high tenacity multifilament yarn made from nylon or other polyamides. A key defining characteristic of this yarn is its twist. Specifically, it must have a twist of 5 turns or more per meter to fall within this category. This type of yarn is generally intended for industrial applications where strength and durability are paramount, and it is not typically packaged for direct consumer sale.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 5402.11.30.50, lies solely in the degree of twist. While both classify high tenacity nylon or polyamide multifilament yarn of more than 920 decitex and of aramids, this specific code requires a twist of 5 turns per meter or greater. The sibling category encompasses yarns that are either untwisted or have a twist of less than 5 turns per meter.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories under 5402.11.30.70. Classification at this level is determined by the combination of material (high tenacity nylon/polyamide of aramids), form (multifilament), decitex (more than 920), and the specific twist of 5 turns or more per meter. Examples of products that would be classified here include specialized industrial threads for tire cord, conveyor belts, or safety equipment, where the higher twist contributes to enhanced structural integrity and performance.
