Kevlar 29 Aramid High Tenacity Cabled Yarn from Germany

This is a multiple or cabled high tenacity yarn made from aramid fibers, specifically Kevlar 29, used in industrial applications like ballistic protection and reinforcement. It falls under HTS 5402.11.60.00 because it is synthetic filament yarn of aramids, high tenacity, and presented as cabled yarn, not for retail sale. The cabled structure provides enhanced strength for demanding uses.

Import Tips

• Verify aramid composition via manufacturer's certificate to confirm high tenacity and HTS classification

• Include test reports proving yarn exceeds high tenacity thresholds (e.g

• 13 g/denier) to avoid reclassification

• Ensure documentation specifies 'multiple or cabled' structure to distinguish from single yarns under 5402.11.30
