5402.32 - Of nylon or other polyamides, measuring per single yarn more than 500 decitex:

This HTS category, 5402.32, specifically covers textured synthetic filament yarns made from nylon or other polyamides. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subheading is that each individual yarn strand (single yarn) must measure more than 500 decitex. These yarns are not intended for retail sale and are therefore classified as bulk materials for further manufacturing processes.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5402.31 covers similarly made textured nylon or polyamide yarns but where the single yarn measures *not more than* 500 decitex. Other siblings at this level address textured yarns made from different synthetic materials like polyester (5402.33), polypropylene (5402.34), or other synthetic filaments not specified elsewhere (5402.39). The key differentiator for 5402.32 is the combination of polyamide material and a decitex value exceeding 500 for the individual filament.

Within this category, further subdivision exists to distinguish between single yarns and multiple (folded) or cabled yarns. Subheading 5402.32.30.00 applies to single yarns that meet the decitex criteria, while 5402.32.60.00 is for multiple or cabled yarns, where the overall construction may differ, but the constituent single yarns still originate from polyamide and individually exceed 500 decitex. This distinction is crucial for accurate inventory management and downstream processing.
