5404.12.90.00 - Other

This HTS classification covers synthetic monofilaments of polypropylene that do not fall under the specific category of "Not over 254 mm in length." These are monofilaments with a decitex of 67 or more, where no single cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 millimeter. The category also includes strips and similar materials made from synthetic textile materials, provided their apparent width does not exceed 5 millimeters. Examples include certain types of artificial straw or flat strands used in various manufacturing applications.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, HTS 5404.12.10.00, by the length of the monofilament. While 5404.12.10.00 specifically addresses monofilaments not exceeding 254 mm in length, this classification (5404.12.90.00) encompasses all other polypropylene monofilaments meeting the decitex and cross-sectional dimension requirements, irrespective of their length. This ensures that longer monofilaments or those with applications not tied to a specific short length are correctly classified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is considered final for goods meeting these specific criteria. Therefore, the focus for accurate classification relies on a thorough understanding of the decitex value, the cross-sectional dimensions of the monofilament, the apparent width of any strips, and confirmation of the material being synthetic textile, specifically polypropylene.
