Products classified under HTS 5301.30.00.00
Garnetted Flax Tow Stock
Flax tow waste processed through garnetting machines to disentangle fibers, including garnetted stock as per HTS notes. Remains unspun waste under 5301.30.00.00. Commonly used in mattress stuffing and erosion control products.
Flax Hackling Waste
Short fibers discarded during hackling/combing of flax line, classified as tow waste. HTS 5301.30.00.00 includes such processing byproducts before spinning. Utilized in twine production and absorbent products.
Flax Tow for Paper Production
Low-grade flax tow waste specifically sourced for mechanical pulping in paper mills. HTS 5301.30.00.00 covers this unspun waste form. Adds strength to specialty papers and cardboards.
Flax Tow Dust and Lint
Fine airborne flax tow particles and lint collected from processing machinery. Included in HTS 5301.30.00.00 as comprehensive flax waste. Used in filters and absorbents.
Recycled Flax Tow from Linens
Tow recovered from shredding flax linen scraps and cuttings. HTS 5301.30.00.00 covers garnetted stock and yarn waste equivalents. For composite reinforcement and nonwovens.
Flax Tow for Composite Matrices
Short flax tow fibers for reinforcing biocomposites and natural matrices. Unspun waste status under HTS 5301.30.00.00. Growing demand in automotive and construction.
Short Flax Tow for Felting
Ultra-short flax tow (<5cm) ideal for needle-punching and wet felting. HTS 5301.30.00.00 as unspun waste. Used in geotextiles and insulation.
Flax Tow Absorbent Material
Flax tow waste with high absorbency for oil spills and wipes. Loose fiber form under HTS 5301.30.00.00. Eco-friendly cleanup alternative.
Flax Tow Fiber Bundles
Coarse, short flax fibers separated during the flax processing after line flax extraction, known as tow. Classified under HTS 5301.30.00.00 as flax tow and waste, not spun or processed into yarn. Used primarily for stuffing, paper production, and low-grade textiles.
Raw Flax Yarn Waste
Waste fibers from flax yarn production, consisting of short tow-like scraps and noils. Falls under HTS 5301.30.00.00 as explicitly including yarn waste from flax processing. Ideal for non-woven felts and composite materials.
Flax Noil and Tow Mix
Mixture of flax noils (short fibers from combing) and tow waste from scutching. Classified as flax tow and waste under HTS 5301.30.00.00, explicitly covering yarn waste equivalents. Used in specialty papers and biodegradable composites.
Unscoured Flax Tow Bales
Bales of flax tow directly from retting and breaking, retaining natural gums and impurities. HTS 5301.30.00.00 covers this raw waste form before any significant processing. Primarily for animal bedding and low-grade felts.
Flax Scutching Tow Waste
Short woody fibers and dust removed during scutching of flax straw, forming tow waste. Directly matches HTS 5301.30.00.00 definition of flax tow and waste. Applied in particleboard and insulation fillers.
Industrial Flax Tow Fillers
Bulk flax tow waste packaged for industrial stuffing applications like upholstery. Remains unspun under HTS 5301.30.00.00 as flax waste. Provides natural, biodegradable alternative to synthetics.
Biodegradable Flax Tow Mulch
Chopped flax tow waste prepared as loose mulch for agriculture and erosion control. Still unspun waste under HTS 5301.30.00.00. Natural alternative to plastic mulches.
