Kevlar 29 Aramid Multifilament Yarn from China

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.

Import Tips

• 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
