5402.61.00.00 - Of nylon or other polyamides (606)

This HTS category, 5402.61.00.00, specifically classifies synthetic filament yarn that is not sewing thread, is not put up for retail sale, and is not monofilament less than 67 decitex. Within the broader group of "Other yarn, multiple (folded) or cabled," this subcategory is exclusively for yarns composed of nylon or other polyamides. These yarns are characterized by being constructed from two or more single filaments twisted together (folded) or further twisted together (cabled), and are intended for industrial or wholesale use rather than direct consumer purchase.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 5402.62.00.00 covers similar multiple or cabled yarns made of polyester, while 5402.63.00.00 pertains to those made of polypropylene. The residual category, 5402.69.01.00, encompasses all other synthetic filament yarns meeting the criteria of multiple or cabled construction that are not of nylon, polyester, or polypropylene. Therefore, the key differentiating factor for 5402.61.00.00 is the specific material composition: nylon or other polyamides.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the tariff schedule, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 5402.61.00.00 is final once the yarn is confirmed to be multiple or cabled filament yarn (excluding sewing thread and monofilament under 67 decitex), not put up for retail sale, and exclusively made of nylon or other polyamides. Practical examples within this category would include multi-strand nylon yarn used in the manufacturing of industrial fabrics, tire cord, or heavy-duty ropes.
