Polypropylene Single Monofilament Yarn 40 Decitex from Japan
This is untwisted single polypropylene filament yarn with a fineness of 40 decitex, used primarily in industrial weaving for producing lightweight tarpaulins and packaging nets. It falls under HTS 5402.48.00.70 as synthetic polypropylene yarn, single, untwisted or low twist (under 50 turns/m), not for retail sale. The 'other' subheading applies since it does not match specific statistical suffixes for finer or coarser variants.

Import Tips
• Verify yarn fineness (decitex) and twist measurement via lab testing to confirm classification under 5402.48.00.70 and avoid misclassification as monofilament of 67+ decitex
• Provide mill certificates documenting polypropylene composition and single untwisted structure for CBP review
