Overview

This HTS classification, 5406.00.10.40, specifically covers man-made filament yarn, other than sewing thread, that is put up for retail sale and is composed entirely of polyesters. These yarns are intended for consumer use and are typically presented in smaller quantities suitable for individual purchase by end-users, such as crafters or small-scale manufacturers. The key defining characteristic for this category is the material composition – polyester.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its specific material. The sibling category 5406.00.10.20 covers similar retail-packaged filament yarn made of acrylic fibers, while 5406.00.10.90 serves as a residual category for any other synthetic filament yarns put up for retail sale not otherwise specified. Therefore, the distinguishing factor here is the exclusive use of polyester as the filament material.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the presence of polyester as the sole fiber type within the synthetic filament yarn presented for retail sale. Examples of products that would fall under this heading include skeins or balls of polyester yarn marketed for knitting, crocheting, or embroidery, provided they are packaged in a manner suitable for direct sale to the consumer.
