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 classification covers polyester staple fibers that are not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning, and specifically those with a decitex measurement of 13.2 or more. Decitex is a unit of linear density, representing the mass in grams per 10,000 meters of fiber. Therefore, this category pertains to coarser polyester staple fibers within the broader scope of synthetic staple fibers.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its siblings based on decitex. Category 5503.20.00.25 includes finer polyester staple fibers measuring less than 3.3 decitex, while category 5503.20.00.45 covers those with an intermediate fineness, measuring 3.3 decitex or more but less than 13.2 decitex. This node, 5503.20.00.65, precisely captures polyester staple fibers that exceed the upper limit of the intermediate category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is finalized at this level based on the material (polyester staple fibers) and the specific decitex range defined. Classification decisions for this category should therefore focus on accurately determining the decitex measurement of the imported polyester staple fibers to ensure proper assignment.
