Kevlar 29 Aramid Multifilament Yarn

Kevlar 29 is a high-tenacity aramid multifilament yarn with twist exceeding 5 turns per meter, single yarn not over 920 decitex, used in ballistic fabrics and protective gear. It falls under HTS 5402.11.3030 due to its aramid composition, high tenacity, and specified twist for industrial applications not put up for retail sale. This yarn provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for reinforcement in composites.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

5402.11.30Same rate: 43.8%

If twist less than 5 turns per meter

Lower twist multifilament yarn shifts to the untwisted or low-twist subcategory within the same aramid high-tenacity group.

5402.62.00Lower: 42.5% vs 43.8%

If made of polyester instead of aramid

Material composition change from polyamides/aramids to polyester moves it to other synthetic filament yarns heading.

5503.20.00Lower: 39.3% vs 43.8%

If in staple fiber form rather than continuous filament

Processed into discontinuous staple fibers instead of continuous multifilament yarn, classified under synthetic staple fibers chapter 55.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify yarn tenacity exceeds high-tenacity thresholds via manufacturer specs and provide test certificates for customs compliance

Ensure documentation confirms twist rate of 5+ turns/meter and decitex under 920 to avoid reclassification

Label clearly as industrial yarn not for retail to prevent misclassification under retail-packaged headings
