Polypropylene Single Monofilament Yarn 40 Decitex from China
This is a single, untwisted polypropylene filament yarn with a linear density under 67 decitex, specifically around 40 decitex, used primarily in industrial weaving and netting applications. It falls under HTS 5402.48.00 as it is synthetic polypropylene yarn, single, with twist not exceeding 50 turns per meter, not put up for retail sale. The low twist ensures it meets the precise classification criteria for unprocessed industrial yarn.

Import Tips
• Verify exact decitex measurement and twist count (≤50 turns/m) via lab testing to confirm classification; ensure supplier certificates confirm not for retail sale
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as multifilament if bundled incorrectly
• Provide end-use declaration for customs to avoid reclassification
