A single synthetic elastomeric monofilament yarn of 40 denier, untwisted, used primarily in stretch fabrics for activewear and hosiery. Classified under HTS 5402.44.00.05 due to its monofilament structure, low twist (less than 5 turns per meter), and less than 67 decitex thickness, not for retail sale. It provides high elasticity essential for form-fitting garments.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If twist exceeds 5 turns per meter but ≤50 turns/m
Higher twist levels move it out of the low-twist monofilament/multifilament subheading into general elastomeric yarn.
If non-elastomeric synthetic composition
Lacks elastomeric properties, falling under single textured polyester or nylon yarns instead.
If classified as synthetic filament tow
Chapter notes exclude tow from 5402/5403; unprocessed bundles resemble tow more than yarn.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify denier and twist levels with lab testing to confirm <67 dtex and <5 turns/m for accurate classification
• Include mill certificates proving synthetic elastomeric composition to avoid reclassification as non-elastomeric yarn
• Ensure not put up for retail sale (e.g
• no consumer packaging) to prevent shift to Chapter 55 headings
