Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pelletized for plastics rather than fiber reuse
Polymer pellets are plastics under Chapter 39, not textile fiber waste.
If made into twine or rope waste
Woven or plaited synthetic fabrics/cordage waste under Chapter 56.
If for synthetic filament waste, not staple
Filament waste classified under 5501, separate from staple/garnetted forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct melt flow index tests to certify polypropylene purity against polyethylene mixes
• Declare exact garnetting process to prevent reclassification as unprocessed rags
• Use anti-static treatments in packaging for safe handling and inspection
