Last updated: April 2026 dataClassified under the residual 'NESOI' provision of Chapter 54, this heading captures multiple or cabled synthetic filament yarns that are neither nylon, polyester, nor polypropylene — a category that includes specialty fibers such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene, and other engineered synthetics not for retail sale. The single US tariff line is 5402690100. Imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a material cost consideration given China's position among the top suppliers alongside the United Kingdom and South Korea. Correct classification depends on confirming fiber generic name, as the NESOI designation means any reclassification to a named-fiber heading carries retroactive duty exposure.
