About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification specifically covers artificial filament tow that is composed of cellulose acetate. Filament tow refers to a loosely assembled bundle of continuous synthetic filaments, not yet spun into yarn or further processed. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the material composition, exclusively cellulose acetate. Examples would include large, untwisted bundles of cellulose acetate filaments used in the manufacture of various textile products.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 5502.90.00.00, which encompasses all other types of artificial filament tow not made of cellulose acetate. Therefore, if the filament tow is derived from synthetic polymers other than cellulose acetate, such as polyester, nylon, or rayon, it would fall under the "Other" category. The precise identification of the polymer is crucial for accurate classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code is determined solely by the presence of cellulose acetate as the constituent material of the artificial filament tow. Importers and exporters must verify the material composition of the filament tow to ensure correct declaration and adherence to customs regulations.
