Overview

This HTS category, 9902.12.91, specifically covers high tenacity multiple (folded) or cabled yarn made from viscose rayon. The "high tenacity" designation indicates a yarn engineered for superior tensile strength, making it suitable for applications requiring durability. The terms "multiple (folded)" and "cabled" refer to the construction of the yarn, where individual yarns are twisted together to create a stronger and thicker thread. This classification is crucial for identifying specific types of rayon yarn used in industrial or technical textiles.

As a category within Chapter 99, this HTS code signifies a temporary measure or specific import restriction related to trade agreements or agricultural legislation. Unlike the primary HTS chapters (01-98) which classify goods based on their inherent nature and material, Chapter 99 codes are dynamic and subject to change. Therefore, this category is distinguished from other HTS classifications by its context as a special provision rather than a permanent description of a commodity. Its placement within Section XXII underscores its role in managing imports under specific trade policy objectives.

Since HTS code 9902.12.91 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. The detailed description and the specific reference to subheading 5403.10.60 provide the complete scope of goods covered. This means that any imports fitting the description of high tenacity multiple or cabled viscose rayon yarn will fall directly under this code, provided the temporary provisions outlined by Chapter 99 are applicable. Users should always consult the most current HTS database for the latest status and any potential amendments to this temporary classification.
