Last updated: April 2026 dataMetallized yarn — textile yarn or strip combined with metal by lamination, coating, or wrapping — is used in decorative fabrics, theatrical costumes, upholstery, and specialty technical textiles requiring reflectivity or conductivity. The US schedule separates untwisted or lightly twisted metal-coated filaments and strips (5605001000) from other metallized yarn constructions (5605009000), with the degree of twist and the method of metal application being key classification factors. Turkey leads US imports in this heading, with the United Kingdom and Mexico also notable sources. Importers should confirm whether the metal component is a laminated film, a wrapped wire, or a deposited coating, as this affects both classification and any applicable textile trade-remedy exposure.

Heading 5605 covers yarn or strip in which the metal element is combined with a textile substrate — the article retains its textile character. Pure metal wire or cord without a textile component falls under the metals chapters. The critical test is whether the textile substrate is present and gives the product its essential character as a textile article.
Yes — line 5605001000 specifically covers metal-coated or laminated filaments and strips that are untwisted, ungimp, or twisted fewer than 5 turns per meter, distinguishing them from more processed gimped or heavily twisted constructions classified under 5605009000. Manufacturers' technical data sheets specifying twist per meter are useful supporting documents at entry.
