Polyester Monofilament Yarn 50 Decitex for Industrial Weaving

This is a single polyester monofilament yarn with a fineness less than 67 decitex, untwisted, used primarily in industrial weaving looms for producing technical fabrics. It falls under HTS 5402.47.90.20 due to its monofilament structure, polyester composition, low twist (less than 5 turns per meter), and not being packaged for retail sale. The yarn meets the statistical notes for untwisted or low-twist synthetic filament yarns in Chapter 54.
