If the yarn is textured (not high tenacity)
Textured yarn of nylon or other polyamides is classified separately, even if aramid-based.
If the yarn is elastomeric
Elastomeric yarn, defined by its stretch and recovery properties, is excluded from high tenacity yarn and classified under this item.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the yarn is not put up for retail sale (e.g
• on supports over 85 g) to qualify for this tariff item
• Declare the aramid composition and tenacity (cN/tex) accurately, as misclassification may lead to penalties
• Verify whether the yarn meets the high tenacity threshold (53 cN/tex for cabled yarn) to avoid reclassification
