Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If under 43 nm fineness
Finer single uncombed unbleached yarns fall into lower nm subheadings within 5205.1x.
If mercerized
Mercerization (caustic soda treatment) reclassifies to 5205.15 regardless of bleaching status.
If actually synthetic yarn mimicking cotton
High-tenacity synthetic filament yarns are in Chapter 54, differentiated by fiber composition testing.
