Synthetic filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including synthetic monofilament of less than 67 decitex

Heading 5402 covers synthetic filament yarn other than sewing thread, when it is not put up for retail sale, plus synthetic monofilament under 67 decitex. It is split first by yarn type: high tenacity yarn, textured yarn, other single yarn (by twist level), and multiple or cabled yarn. Within each group the subheading turns on the polymer, the decitex of the single yarn, and the twist.
