5402.62.00.00 - Of polyesters (606)

This HTS category, 5402.62.00.00, specifically classifies multiple (folded) or cabled synthetic filament yarn, not put up for retail sale, composed of polyesters. These yarns are distinct from sewing thread and do not include monofilaments with a decitex of less than 67. The "polyesters" designation is the key material differentiator for this particular subheading.

It is crucial to distinguish this polyester yarn from its siblings. HTS 5402.61.00.00 covers similar folded or cabled yarns made from nylon or other polyamides, while HTS 5402.63.00.00 pertains to those made from polypropylene. HTS 5402.69.01.00 encompasses all other folded or cabled synthetic filament yarns not falling into the polyester, nylon, polyamide, or polypropylene categories. The defining characteristic for classification here is the specific polymer composition of the filament.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 5402.62.00.00 relies entirely on confirming that the imported goods are multiple or cabled filament yarn, not intended for retail sale, and are definitively made of polyester. The presence of any other significant fiber content, or a change in yarn construction like single yarn or yarn put up for retail sale, would necessitate classification under a different HTS code.
