Overview
This HTS code, 5503.19.10.00, specifically classifies synthetic staple fibers made of nylon or other polyamides that are not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning, with the defining characteristic being that they contain 10 percent or more by weight of nylon 12. This category is intended for these specific nylon staple fibers when they meet the specified nylon 12 content threshold.
At this level, the primary distinction lies in the material composition. Sibling category 5503.19.90.00, also under "Other" synthetic staple fibers of nylon or other polyamides, would cover those that do not meet the 10 percent or more nylon 12 criterion. Therefore, the classification hinges on a precise quantitative assessment of the nylon 12 content within the staple fiber blend.
As this HTS code is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific classification. Importers and exporters should therefore focus on accurately determining the nylon 12 percentage by weight to ensure correct classification under 5503.19.10.00, distinguishing it from other "Other" nylon staple fibers.
