5402.49.91.75 - Of polyethylene (606) 🖩

This HTS classification, 5402.49.91.75, specifically covers multifilament synthetic yarn derived from polyethylene. This yarn is characterized by having a twist exceeding 5 turns per meter and is not presented for retail sale. The inclusion of "Of polyethylene (606)" in the description highlights that the primary polymer making up the filament is polyethylene, which is a key material determinant for classification within this specific sub-heading. This category is designed to isolate polyethylene-based multifilament yarns with a moderate to high twist from other synthetic filament yarns that may have different polymer compositions or differing twist levels.

At this level of detail, the distinction from sibling categories, such as 5402.49.91.80 (also described as "Other"), lies in the specific material composition. While both might fall under a broader "other" category, the ".75" subheading is explicitly designated for polyethylene. This specificity is crucial for accurate tariff application and statistical tracking, ensuring that goods are categorized according to their precise material makeup. The absence of subcategories indicates that this is a terminal classification, meaning that further breakdowns of this specific type of polyethylene multifilament yarn are not maintained at this level of the HTS.

Therefore, importers and exporters should identify yarns composed of polyethylene, which are multifilament, possess a twist of 5 or more turns per meter, and are not packaged for retail sale, as belonging to this classification. The emphasis on polyethylene distinguishes it from other synthetic filament yarns that might be classified under different subheadings within Chapter 54, even if they share similar physical characteristics such as being multifilament and having a twist.
