Artificial monofilament of 67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm; strip and the like (for example, artificial straw) of artificial textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm
2 declarable lines
Heading 5405 covers monofilament made of artificial textile materials that measures 67 decitex or more and has no cross-sectional dimension over 1 mm, along with artificial strip and strip-like material such as artificial straw with an apparent width not over 5 mm. The heading has two declarable lines: one for monofilament and one for the strip and other forms. Both lines apply only to artificial materials, not synthetic ones.
Products in this heading
- Viscose monofilament of 100 decitex for textile or industrial use
- Cellulose acetate monofilament with a cross-section under 1 mm
- Artificial straw strip of regenerated cellulose for hat making or craft use
- Narrow artificial strip under 5 mm wide used for trim and braiding
- Artificial monofilament sold on spools for textile weaving
- Flat artificial strip used as imitation straw in packaging or decoration
How to choose the right subheading
- Material: the monofilament or strip must be of artificial textile material, not synthetic.
- Size: monofilament must be 67 decitex or more.
- Cross-section: no dimension of the monofilament may exceed 1 mm.
- Form: monofilament goes to one line, while strip and straw-like material of apparent width up to 5 mm goes to the other.
- Width: strip wider than 5 mm apparent width is outside this heading.
Often confused with
- Heading 5404Synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more
Heading 5404 covers synthetic monofilament and synthetic strip, while 5405 covers the artificial kind.
- Heading 5403Artificial monofilament of less than 67 decitex
Fine artificial monofilament falls in the yarn heading, not 5405.
- Heading 5408Woven fabric made from artificial strip
Once the strip is woven, it is classified as fabric of artificial filament yarn.
- Heading 5401Artificial filament sewing thread put up for retail sale
Sewing thread has its own heading regardless of decitex.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for artificial monofilament of 67 decitex or more?
It is 5405.00.30.00, which carries a general (MFN) rate of 6.9%.
What is the duty on artificial strip of apparent width not exceeding 5 mm?
That strip is classified under 5405.00.60.00 and pays a general (MFN) rate of 5.8%.
How do I classify artificial straw versus synthetic monofilament?
Artificial straw and artificial strip of apparent width up to 5 mm go in 5405.00.60.00 at a general (MFN) rate of 5.8%. Synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more belongs in heading 5404 instead, so check the fiber type first.
