You have submitted a sample cone of 100 percent polyester yarn. The multifilament yarn measures 49 denier, has 24 filaments and is made from the spin draw method. It is not textured or high tenacity. According to our New York laboratory, the polyester yarn is a single ply yarn with twist of 3,3 turns per meter (TPM). The sample cone of yarn will be returned to you. The applicable subheading for the polyester yarn will be 5402.43.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for synthetic filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale,..., other yarn, single, untwisted or with a twist not exceeding 50 TPM, of polyesters, other,..., multifilament, untwisted or with twist of less than 5 TPM. The rate of duty will be 10 percent ad valorem.
