Overview
This HTS category, 5511.20.00.00, covers yarns composed primarily of synthetic staple fibers, specifically when these synthetic staple fibers constitute less than 85 percent by weight of the total yarn. The remaining portion of the yarn may consist of other textile materials. These yarns are intended for retail sale and are not classified as sewing thread.
It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its siblings. Category 5511.10.00 encompasses yarns of synthetic staple fibers containing 85 percent or more by weight of such fibers. Conversely, category 5511.30.00.00 deals with yarns made from artificial staple fibers, regardless of their percentage composition. Therefore, the key differentiator for 5511.20.00.00 lies in the lower percentage threshold of synthetic staple fibers and its exclusion of artificial staple fibers.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. The classification is determined by the material composition and the percentage of synthetic staple fibers by weight, in conjunction with its presentation for retail sale.
