Overview

This HTS classification, 5609.00.30.00, specifically covers articles made from yarn, strip, twine, cordage, rope, or cables that are not elsewhere specified or included, provided that the constituent material is exclusively man-made fibers. Examples of such articles include, but are not limited to, finished or partially finished goods like nets, mats, or decorative items composed entirely of synthetic or regenerated cellulosic fibers.

This category is distinct from its siblings based on the primary fiber composition. Unlike 5609.00.10.00 (Of cotton) and 5609.00.20.00 (Of vegetable fibers, except cotton), this classification is reserved for articles where the yarn, strip, or other foundational material is derived from man-made sources, such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, or rayon. The "Other" category (5609.00.40.00) would be applied to articles of mixed fibers or those made from materials not covered by the other subheadings within this heading.

As a leaf node within the HTS, 5609.00.30.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code relies on a definitive identification of the article's construction from man-made fibers and its exclusion from more specific provisions elsewhere in the tariff schedule. The key determinative factor remains the exclusive presence of man-made fibers in the yarn, strip, or similar components forming the article.
