5402.48.00.70 - Other

This HTS classification, 5402.48.00.70, covers "Other" synthetic filament yarn that falls within the broader category of synthetic monofilament or multifilament yarn of less than 67 decitex, which is not put up for retail sale. Specifically, it pertains to single yarns that are either untwisted or have a twist not exceeding 50 turns per meter, and are composed of polypropylene. The key defining characteristic is that these yarns are not single filaments under 67 decitex, nor do they possess a twist of less than 5 turns per meter.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5402.48.00.10 (Monofilament; multifilament, untwisted or with twist of less than 5 turns per meter), is crucial. While both fall under the umbrella of other yarn with a twist not exceeding 50 turns/m, 5402.48.00.70 specifically encompasses polypropylene yarns with a twist ranging from 5 turns per meter up to, but not including, 50 turns per meter. The sibling category covers the more specific instances of monofilament and multifilament with very low twist levels.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 5402.48.00.70 relies on the precise material (polypropylene), the construction (single yarn), the degree of twist (between 5 and 50 turns per meter), and the fact that it is not put up for retail sale. Examples would include bulk packaging of polypropylene yarn intended for industrial use, such as for manufacturing carpets, ropes, or industrial fabrics, where the specific twist rate falls within this defined range.
