Alternative Classifications

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

5404.90.00Lower: 35% vs 43%

If processed into synthetic monofilament of 67+ decitex

Monofilaments ≥67 decitex move to heading 5404, regardless of twist or elastomeric properties.

5402Same rate: 43%

If textured rather than flat elastomeric yarn

Textured synthetic filament yarns classify under 5402.43, separate from smooth low-twist elastomeric singles.

5903.90.30Lower: 37.7% vs 43%

If coated or laminated for textile use

Elastomeric yarns with surface treatments like polyurethane coating shift to 5903 as textile fabrics impregnated or coated.
