Products classified under HTS 5503.40.00.00
Polypropylene Staple Fiber 1.5 Denier
Unprocessed polypropylene staple fibers with a fineness of 1.5 denier, cut to 38mm length, used primarily for nonwoven fabrics and filtration media. These synthetic fibers fall under HTS 5503.40.00.00 as they are of polypropylene and not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning.
Bright Polypropylene Staple Fiber 2 Denier
Undyed, bright (high luster) polypropylene staple fibers of 2 denier fineness, 44mm length, suitable for carpet backing and upholstery. HTS 5503.40.00.00 applies as these are raw polypropylene fibers not further processed for spinning.
UV-Resistant PP Staple Fiber 4 Denier
Polypropylene staple fibers treated for UV resistance, 4 denier, 65mm staple length, unprocessed, for agricultural fleece and ropes. Classified in HTS 5503.40.00.00 as base polypropylene fibers without spinning preparation.
Flame Retardant Polypropylene Staple 2.5 Denier
FR-treated polypropylene staple fibers, 2.5 denier fineness, 51mm length, raw form for automotive felts and upholstery. HTS 5503.40.00.00 covers these as unprocessed polypropylene synthetics.
Bicomponent PP/PE Staple Fiber 2 Denier
Sheath-core bicomponent staple fiber with PP core and PE sheath, 2 denier, unprocessed for thermal bonding nonwovens. Primarily polypropylene, thus HTS 5503.40.00.00 for unprocessed synthetic staples.
Polypropylene Staple for Ropes 6 Denier
Coarse 6 denier polypropylene staple fibers, 102mm length, unprocessed for twisted rope and twine production. HTS 5503.40.00.00 for raw polypropylene not spun or processed.
Superfine PP Microfiber 0.8 Denier
Ultrafine 0.8 denier polypropylene microfiber staples, 29mm, for premium filtration and apparel interlinings. Unprocessed state qualifies for HTS 5503.40.00.00 polypropylene classification.
Crimped Polypropylene Staple Fiber 3.5 Denier
Highly crimped PP staple fiber 3.5 denier, 44mm, unprocessed for bulked nonwovens and insulation. Crimping doesn't constitute spinning prep, so HTS 5503.40.00.00 applies.
PP Staple Fiber for Geotextiles 3 Denier
Polypropylene staple fibers at 3 denier fineness and 51mm staple length, unprocessed, designed for geotextile and civil engineering applications like soil stabilization. Classified under HTS 5503.40.00.00 due to polypropylene composition and lack of spinning preparation.
Polypropylene Fiber for Nonwoven Hygiene 1.2 Denier
Fine 1.2 denier polypropylene staple fibers, 35mm length, unprocessed for spunmelt nonwovens in diapers and sanitary products. Falls under HTS 5503.40.00.00 for polypropylene synthetic staple fibers not prepared for spinning.
