Alternative Classifications

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

5402.49Same rate: 43%

If composed of other synthetic fibers like nylon

Polyethylene-specific subheading 5402.49.91.75 applies only to PE; other synthetics fall under the residual 5402.49.9090.

5503.20.00Lower: 39.3% vs 43%

If in staple fiber form rather than continuous filament

Chapter note excludes filament tow from 5402/5403; polyethylene staple fibers classify under Chapter 55 as synthetic staple fibers.

5401.10.00.00Higher: 46.4% vs 43%

If monofilament of 67+ dtex instead of multifilament

Monofilament ≥67 dtex shifts to heading 5401, while multifilament yarn remains in 5402 regardless of fineness.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify twist measurement (5-50 turns/m) and denier (<67 dtex) via lab testing to confirm HTS 5402.49.91.75 classification

Provide mill certificates confirming polyethylene composition to avoid misclassification as nylon or polyester

Ensure packaging is bulk (not retail) with proper documentation to prevent reclassification under Chapter 55
