Viscose 50/2 Apparel Multiple Yarn

This is a fine 50/2 viscose staple multiple yarn containing 85% or more viscose, used for dresses and linings. It falls under tariff item 5509.42.00 because viscose is a synthetic staple fibre (regenerated cellulose) and the yarn is multiple (folded) or cabled, not put up for retail sale. Note: viscose is not polyester, so this candidate should be excluded.
