HS Code for Acrylic blend yarn

HS code 550969 is designated for yarn (excluding sewing thread) made from acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres, specifically when these fibres are mixed mainly or solely with other fibres not specified elsewhere in subheading 5509.6, and are not put up for retail sale. Acrylic blend yarn, which combines acrylic fibres with other textile fibres (e.g., wool, cotton, polyester) and is typically intended for industrial textile manufacturing rather than direct consumer purchase, aligns precisely with this classification. The "blend" aspect is crucial, as it differentiates this category from yarns composed predominantly (85% or more) of acrylic or modacrylic fibres alone. This code ensures accurate classification for a wide range of blended acrylic yarns used in various textile applications.

Common Misclassification

Common misclassifications often arise from the specific composition and presentation of the yarn. HS code 550961 covers yarn of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres containing 85% or more by weight of such fibres, not put up for retail sale. The distinction from 550969 is the percentage of acrylic/modacrylic content; if it's 85% or higher, 550961 applies. Another potential confusion is with 550999, which is a broader "other" category for synthetic staple fibre yarns not specifically acrylic/modacrylic or otherwise detailed. Furthermore, 551030 is for yarn of artificial staple fibres (e.g., rayon, modal), which are distinct from synthetic fibres like acrylic. Careful analysis of fibre composition and blend percentages is essential to avoid these errors.
