Viscose Rayon Monofilament Yarn 40 Decitex
This is a single artificial monofilament yarn made from viscose rayon, with a linear density of 40 decitex (below the 67 decitex threshold for monofilaments of this chapter) and either no twist or a twist of less than 5 turns per metre. It is supplied on large industrial bobbins, not put up for retail sale, and is used primarily in industrial textile manufacturing for weaving or other technical applications. Because it is untwisted or has a very low twist, it falls squarely within tariff item 5403.31.00, which covers single viscose rayon yarn with a twist not exceeding 120 turns per metre.
