5402.33.60.00 - Multiple (folded) or cabled yarn (600)

This HTS category, 5402.33.60.00, specifically covers multiple-folded or cabled yarn made from polyesters. Such yarns are characterized by having two or more single yarns twisted together, forming a thicker, stronger, and often more durable thread. The "folded or cabled" aspect is a key differentiator, indicating a construction beyond a single strand. The 600 decitex specification further refines the classification by defining a particular yarn fineness within this construction type.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 5402.33.30.00, which pertains to *single* polyester yarns that are textured. While both are textured polyester yarns not for retail sale, 5402.33.60.00 exclusively deals with yarns formed by combining multiple single strands, whereas the sibling focuses on individual, albeit textured, strands. This distinction is crucial for correct import/export declarations.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Classification under 5402.33.60.00 is final for qualifying multiple-folded or cabled polyester yarns of 600 decitex. Examples of such yarns might include those used in industrial applications such as tire cord, heavy-duty ropes, or specialized upholstery fabrics, where the enhanced strength and structure of cabled yarn are required.
