Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from synthetic fibers like polyester
Synthetic fiber waste falls under 5504, while artificial (viscose) is in 5505.
If in garment clippings or rags form
Processed textile waste like rags moves to Chapter 63, not raw fiber waste.
