HS Code for Viscose rayon cabled yarn

Viscose rayon cabled yarn is classified under HS code 5403.41. This classification is based on the structure of the yarn and the material composition. Under Chapter 54, which deals with man-made filaments, heading 5403 covers artificial filament yarns. While single yarns fall under different subheadings, multiple (folded) or cabled yarns are specifically categorized under 5403.41. Cabled yarn consists of two or more folded yarns twisted together in one or more stages. The classification requires that the yarn is made of viscose rayon filaments and is not prepared for retail sale or intended as sewing thread. The distinction between single and cabled yarn is critical for determining the correct six-digit subheading. The technical definition of artificial fibers in the HS nomenclature refers to regenerated cellulose, such as viscose rayon, cuprammonium rayon, or acetate, distinguishing them from synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 5403.31, which is only for single yarns. Another frequent error is using HS code 5401.20, which is for sewing thread; if the yarn is finished or has a final Z-twist intended for sewing, it belongs there. Furthermore, if the yarn is heavily twisted to the point of being considered twine or rope, it may fall under heading 5607.
