9902.12.89 - High tenacity single yarn of viscose rayon, with a decitex equal to or greater than 1,000, the foregoing not put up for retail sale and other than sewing thread (provided for in subheading 5403.10.30)

HTS Code 9902.12.89 designates a specific type of high-tenacity single yarn made from viscose rayon. The key defining characteristics for classification under this code are a decitex of 1,000 or greater, the exclusion of products intended for retail sale, and that the yarn is not sewing thread. This provision is found within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and modifications related to trade agreements and import restrictions.

This classification is distinct from other HTS codes in that it specifically addresses a specialized industrial yarn rather than consumer-ready textile products or general-purpose yarns. For instance, it differs from provisions for finished textiles or yarns of other materials. The "not put up for retail sale" clause clearly separates it from yarns packaged for individual purchase by consumers.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to explore. The classification is highly specific, meaning that any goods meeting all the outlined criteria—high tenacity, viscose rayon, decitex of 1,000+, not for retail sale, and not sewing thread—will fall directly under this provision. Importers should carefully verify the material composition, tenacity, and intended use to ensure accurate classification.
