Nylon 12 Blend Staple Fibers for Carpet Yarn from Germany

Synthetic staple fibers primarily composed of nylon with at least 10% nylon 12 by weight, not processed for spinning, used in manufacturing durable carpet yarns. These fibers fall under HTS 5503.19.10.00 due to their polyamide composition and specific nylon 12 content as defined in the chapter notes. They are ideal for high-traffic flooring applications requiring resilience.
