Partially Oriented Nylon 6 Multifilament Yarn from Canada
This is a single, untwisted multifilament yarn made from nylon 6 polyamide, with a twist less than 5 turns per meter and partially oriented structure for further drawing. It falls under HTS 5402.45.90.10 as synthetic multifilament yarn of polyamides, not for retail sale, used primarily in textile manufacturing for fabrics and ropes. The partial orientation distinguishes it from fully drawn yarn, allowing stretch and strength enhancement in processing.

Import Tips
• Verify denier and twist specifications in documentation to confirm partial orientation and multifilament status, avoiding reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates showing polyamide composition and less than 5 turns/m twist to prevent duty disputes
• Ensure not packaged for retail sale; bulk spools only, as retail puts it under heading 5402 exclusions
