5402.39.61.10 - Of polyethylene (600) 🖩

This HTS category, 5402.39.61.10, specifically classifies multiple (folded) or cabled yarns of synthetic filaments that have been textured and are not of polyethylene. These yarns are not put up for retail sale and are not considered sewing thread. The "textured" aspect signifies that the yarn has undergone a process to impart bulk, stretch, or other desirable physical properties, deviating from its smooth, natural filament form. Examples within this category would include folded or cabled textured polyester or nylon yarns, provided they meet the specified decitex and material criteria, and are intended for industrial or manufacturing use rather than direct consumer sale.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5402.39.61.90, is crucial. While both fall under "Other" textured, multiple or cabled synthetic yarns, this specific subheading is for those *not* of polyethylene. The sibling category, therefore, encompasses textured, folded, or cabled synthetic yarns made from materials other than polyethylene. The classification hinges on the precise polymer composition of the synthetic filament used in the yarn's construction.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends here, meaning that any textured, multiple or cabled synthetic yarn that is not of polyethylene and meets the general criteria of heading 5402 will fall into this specific subheading. Therefore, the primary focus for classification under this code is to confirm the yarn is textured, is multiple or cabled, is a synthetic filament yarn (not sewing thread), is not put up for retail sale, and is demonstrably made from a polymer other than polyethylene.
