5404.90.00.00 - Other

This HTS category, 5404.90.00.00, encompasses "Other" items within the scope of synthetic monofilaments and strips. Specifically, it covers synthetic monofilament with a decitex of 67 or more, where no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 millimeter. It also includes strips and similar materials, such as artificial straw, made from synthetic textile materials, provided their apparent width does not exceed 5 millimeters. This category acts as a residual for items that meet the broad criteria of synthetic monofilaments or strips but do not fall under more specific subdivisions.

The primary distinction of this "Other" category lies in its residual nature. It exists to capture synthetic monofilaments and strips that fulfill the basic physical requirements but are not specifically detailed in other subheadings within heading 5404. For example, if a synthetic monofilament or strip has unique characteristics or intended uses not explicitly covered elsewhere, and it fits the decitex or width parameters, it would likely be classified here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification into 5404.90.00.00 is determined by meeting the overarching requirements for synthetic monofilaments or strips of heading 5404 and not fitting into any more precisely defined preceding subheadings. Importers and exporters should carefully review the decitex and width specifications, as well as consider the material composition to ensure accurate classification within this residual provision.
