5402.34.60.00 - Multiple (folded) or cabled yarn (600) 🖩

This HTS category, 5402.34.60.00, specifically classifies multiple (folded) or cabled synthetic filament yarn of polypropylene, not put up for retail sale. The defining characteristic of this classification is the construction of the yarn. Unlike single yarns, these yarns are formed by twisting two or more single yarns together (folded yarn) or by twisting folded yarns together (cabled yarn). The yarn must be of polypropylene and is not intended for direct sale to consumers in its current form.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 5402.34.30.00, which covers single yarns. While both relate to textured polypropylene filament yarn, the key differentiator is the number of individual strands twisted together. If a yarn consists of only one strand, it falls under the single yarn classification. Conversely, any yarn composed of two or more strands twisted together, including those with further twisting of folded strands, will be classified here.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the yarn's construction (multiple or cabled) and its material (polypropylene). Practical classification will involve examining the physical structure of the yarn to confirm the presence of multiple twisted strands.
