It falls under HTS 5407.61.91.00 due to its precise yarn specifications and high polyester filament content exceeding 85% non-textured. The tight twist ensures durability and smooth drape for apparel linings.

Import Tips

• Verify yarn decitex, filament count, and twist per meter via lab testing to confirm classification under 5407.61.91.00

• Provide mill test certificates documenting 100% polyester composition and non-textured filaments to avoid reclassification

• Watch for blending errors; even minor non-polyester content shifts to broader 5407 categories with different duties
