Polypropylene Staple 25/4 Cabled Yarn
This is a 4-ply cabled polypropylene staple yarn with a 25 count, containing 85% or more polypropylene, used for weaving geotextiles and agricultural nets. It qualifies under tariff item 5509.42.00 as a multiple (folded) or cabled yarn of synthetic staple fibres (polyester is a synthetic, and polypropylene is also synthetic, but this item specifically covers polyester; however, the candidate description states it is for polypropylene, which is not polyester — this candidate should be excluded).
