Overview

This HTS category, 5511.30.00.00, specifically covers yarn made from artificial staple fibers, presented in retail packaging. "Artificial staple fibers" refers to fibers derived from regenerated cellulose, such as viscose (rayon) or modal, which are processed into shorter, staple lengths comparable to natural fibers. The key characteristic for classification here is the origin of the staple fibers, distinguishing it from yarns made of synthetic staple fibers.

When classifying yarn of man-made staple fibers put up for retail sale, it is essential to differentiate this category from its siblings, 5511.10.00 and 5511.20.00.00. Those sibling categories exclusively address yarns composed of *synthetic* staple fibers (e.g., polyester, nylon, acrylic), with further distinctions based on the percentage of synthetic fibers by weight. Category 5511.30.00.00 is solely for yarns where the staple fibers are *artificial* in origin.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, accurate classification within this code relies on confirming that the yarn is composed of artificial staple fibers and is intended for retail sale. Examples of such products would include skeins or balls of rayon yarn sold directly to consumers for knitting or crafting.
