Products classified under Tariff item 5501.20.00.00
Antibacterial Polyester Tow
Polyester filament tow infused with silver ions for antibacterial properties, used in medical textiles. The silver treatment is a functional modification that does not alter the base classification of the tow as polyester filament tow under heading 55.01.
5501.20.00Bicomponent Polyester Filament Tow
Bicomponent polyester filament tow with core-sheath or side-by-side structure, used for enhanced crimp in staple fibres. Despite the bicomponent construction, it remains polyester filament tow and is classified under tariff item 5501.20.00.
5501.20.00Bio-Based Polyester Tow
Polyester filament tow produced from bio-based PET (plant-derived PTA), used for sustainable staple fibres. The bio-based origin does not change the chemical composition, which remains polyester, so it falls under tariff item 5501.20.00.
5501.20.00Bright Polyester Tow for Fillers
Bright (high-lustre) polyester filament tow used for stuffing pillows, quilts and cushions after cutting and crimping. The tow is supplied in continuous filament form and is classified under tariff item 5501.20.00 as polyester filament tow.
5501.20.00Coarse Denier Polyester Tow for Carpet Fibers
High-denier polyester filament tow (15+ denier per filament) for cutting into staple fibres used in carpet backing and upholstery. It is classified under tariff item 5501.20.00 as synthetic filament tow of polyesters, suited for bulkier textile applications.
5501.20.00Conductive Polyester Filament Tow
Polyester filament tow containing carbon or metal fibres for anti-static properties, used in electronics cleanrooms. The conductive additives do not change the essential character of the tow, which remains polyester filament tow under tariff item 5501.20.00.
5501.20.00Fine Denier Polyester Tow for Apparel Fibers
Fine denier polyester filament tow (2-5 denier per filament) intended for cutting into staple fibres for apparel fabrics. It is classified under tariff item 5501.20.00 as polyester synthetic filament tow, regardless of the fine denier.
5501.20.00Flame-Retardant Polyester Tow
Polyester filament tow with inherent flame-retardant additives, used for staple in fire-resistant upholstery and uniforms. The FR properties do not alter the base classification, so it falls under tariff item 5501.20.00 as polyester filament tow.
5501.20.00High-Tenacity Polyester Tow for Industrial Yarns
High-tenacity polyester filament tow designed for conversion into staple fibres for industrial applications like tyre reinforcement and ropes. It is classified under tariff item 5501.20.00 due to its polyester composition and filament tow form.
5501.20.00Industrial Grade Polyester Tow for Ropes
Heavy-duty polyester filament tow for conversion to staple fibres in ropes, nets and geotextiles. The tow is supplied in large tows and is classified under tariff item 5501.20.00 as polyester filament tow, with high strength for industrial end-uses.
5501.20.00Microfiber Polyester Tow
Ultra-fine denier polyester filament tow (under 1 denier per filament) for microfiber staple in cleaning cloths and apparel. It is classified under tariff item 5501.20.00 as polyester synthetic filament tow, enabling high-absorbency textiles.
5501.20.00Polyester Filament Tow for Staple Fiber Production
Uncrimped polyester filament tow consisting of continuous filaments of polyethylene terephthalate, used primarily for cutting into staple fibres for spinning into yarn. It falls under tariff item 5501.20.00 as synthetic filament tow of polyesters.
5501.20.00Polyester Top Tow for Worsted Spinning
Polyester filament tow processed into aligned 'top' form for worsted spinning systems, used in wool-like yarns for suiting. It remains synthetic polyester filament tow before full staple conversion and falls under tariff item 5501.20.00.
5501.20.00Recycled Polyester Filament Tow
Filament tow produced from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) bottles, used for sustainable staple fibre in eco-textiles. It is classified under tariff item 5501.20.00 for its polyester composition in continuous tow form.
5501.20.00Solution-Dyed Polyester Tow
Polyester filament tow with colour pigments integrated during polymerization, for fade-resistant staple fibres in upholstery. It is classified under tariff item 5501.20.00 regardless of dope-dyeing, as it remains polyester synthetic filament tow.
