Overview
This HTS classification, 5505.10.00.20, specifically covers waste, including noils, yarn waste, and garnetted stock, originating from synthetic fibers that are made of nylon or other polyamides. This category encompasses materials that are no longer suitable for their original intended use as yarn or fabric, but still retain the essential characteristics of polyamide fibers. These could include fibers recovered from manufacturing processes, discarded yarns, or materials that have been processed into a fibrous state for potential recycling or reprocessing.
It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 5505.10.00.40 pertains to similar waste materials derived exclusively from polyesters, while HTS 5505.10.00.60 is a residual category for waste from any other types of synthetic fibers not specifically enumerated. Therefore, the defining characteristic for classification under 5505.10.00.20 is the intrinsic material composition of the waste being nylon or a related polyamide.
As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories detailing more specific types of nylon or polyamide waste. Classification at this level is solely determined by the identification of the waste material as originating from nylon or other polyamides, and its presence within the broader category of synthetic fiber waste.
