5402.49.91.15 - Of polyethylene 🖩

This classification pertains to synthetic filament yarn, specifically those of polyethylene, that are not intended for retail sale. The yarn must be single and either untwisted or have a twist not exceeding 50 turns per meter. Within this broader category, 5402.49.91.15 specifically identifies polyethylene filament yarn that falls under "Other" and is further categorized as monofilament or multifilament with a twist of less than 5 turns per meter. This distinguishes it from other types of synthetic filament yarn based on material composition and twist level.

The key defining characteristic of this subcategory is the material: polyethylene. Unlike its sibling category 5402.49.91.40, which encompasses "Other" synthetic filament yarns without specifying the polymer type, this heading is exclusively for polyethylene-based filaments. Both fall under the broader heading for "Other yarn, single, untwisted or with a twist not exceeding 50 turns/m" and "Other" at higher levels, highlighting a shared structural and processing characteristic.

As a leaf node, 5402.49.91.15 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this specific code depends entirely on meeting the criteria of being a polyethylene filament yarn, not put up for retail sale, with a twist of less than 5 turns per meter. Examples would include bulk polyethylene yarns used in industrial applications such as nets, ropes, or strapping, where the polyethylene composition and low twist are the primary distinguishing features for customs purposes.
