Conductive Polyester-Cotton Yarn for Tech Textiles from Japan

This is a carbon-infused polyester staple yarn (35%) blended with cotton (65%) for antistatic workwear fabrics. It falls under tariff item 5509.92.00 because it is yarn of synthetic staple fibres, not put up for retail sale, and is mixed mainly or solely with cotton; the conductive additive does not change the base fibre classification.
