5402.49.91.40 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 5402.49.91.40, specifically covers "Other" synthetic filament yarn that is not sewing thread, not put up for retail sale, and consists of synthetic monofilament with a decitex of less than 67. Within the broader category of single, untwisted or low-twist yarn (under 50 turns/meter), this subcategory applies to yarns that do not fall under more specific descriptions at the same hierarchical level.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 5402.49.91.15 ("Of polyethylene"), lies in the material composition. While the sibling is exclusively for polyethylene yarns, this category encompasses all other synthetic monofilament yarns meeting the specified decitex and twist requirements, provided they are not otherwise classified. This allows for the accurate classification of monofilaments made from a variety of synthetic polymers beyond polyethylene.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 5402.49.91.40 hinges on a thorough analysis of the yarn's physical characteristics, primarily its monofilament nature, decitex value (less than 67), twist level (untwisted or not exceeding 5 turns per meter), and a negative determination against any more specific subcategories, particularly those identifying particular polymers. Examples of products that could fall here might include fine monofilament yarns made from polyester or nylon, intended for industrial or manufacturing use rather than direct consumer sale.
