HS Code for Polyamide cabled yarn

Polyamide cabled yarn is classified under HS code 5402.61. This code is specific to synthetic filament yarn made of nylon or other polyamides. To qualify for this heading, the yarn must be multiple (folded) or cabled, meaning it consists of two or more single yarns twisted together in one or more stages. It must be composed of filaments (continuous strands) rather than staple fibers. Furthermore, the yarn must not be textured and must not be high tenacity yarn. A critical technical requirement is that the monofilament must measure less than 67 decitex. Additionally, the yarn must not be put up for retail sale and cannot be classified as sewing thread. This classification is vital for industrial textile manufacturing where raw cabled yarns are used as inputs for producing heavy-duty fabrics, nets, or industrial components. The "not for retail sale" provision usually implies the yarn is wound on large bobbins or cones intended for factory use.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with HS code 5401.10, which is reserved for synthetic filament sewing thread. Sewing thread must be finished and meet specific criteria regarding its use and packaging. It is also frequently misclassified under 5402.31 if the yarn has been textured (crimped or twisted to add bulk). If the yarn is high tenacity (designed for high strength), it should be classified under 5402.11 or 5402.19. Finally, if the yarn is put up for retail sale, it moves to heading 5406.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Polyamide cabled yarn?

The HS code for multiple (folded) or cabled synthetic filament yarn of nylon or other polyamides, not for retail sale and not textured, is 5402.61.

What is the difference between multiple and cabled yarn?

Multiple (folded) yarn is formed by twisting two or more single yarns together in one operation. Cabled yarn is formed by twisting together two or more multiple yarns or a combination of single and multiple yarns.
