Polyester-Viscose Cabled Yarn 20s/2
This is a cabled yarn made from polyester synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with viscose rayon artificial staple fibers, with a yarn count of 20s/2, suitable for weaving industrial fabrics. It falls under HTS 5509.99.4000 because it consists of multiple folded or cabled yarns, not put up for retail sale, and is mixed mainly with artificial staple fibers. The folding process enhances strength for heavy-duty applications like upholstery.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed mainly with cotton staple fibers instead of artificial
Changing the main mix to cotton moves it to the cotton-mixed subheading in 5509.52, altering the chapter structure.
If single yarn, not multiple or cabled
Single strand yarns without folding or cabling classify under the single yarn provisions of 5509.91, a different statistical breakout.
If made from synthetic filament fibers rather than staple
Filament-based cabled yarns fall under Chapter 54 for synthetic filament yarns, not Chapter 55 staple fibers.
