Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If clearly plastic rather than textile
Pure plastic strips without textile properties fall under Chapter 39 plastics, not artificial filaments.
If under 67 decitex
Finer artificial monofilaments classify in 5401, based on statistical notes for decitex threshold.
If sold as synthetic staple fibers
If cut into short lengths rather than continuous strip, it becomes staple fiber under Chapter 55.
