Artificial filament yarn, incl. artificial monofilament of < 67 decitex (excl. sewing thread and yarn put up for retail sale)
Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

Explanatory notes to heading 5403 2 paragraphs
Machine translation from Russian. The original is the EEC explanatory note, and that is what a classification dispute is argued from; the translation is for understanding and has no legal force.
5403 Artificial filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including artificial monofilament of less than 67 decitex: 5403 10 – high tenacity yarn of viscose rayon – other yarn, single: 5403 31 – – of viscose rayon, untwisted or with a twist not exceeding 120 turns per metre 5403 32 – – of viscose rayon, with a twist exceeding 120 turns per metre 5403 33 – – of cellulose acetate 5403 39 – – other – other yarn, multiple (folded) or cabled: 5403 41 – – of viscose rayon 5403 42 – – of cellulose acetate 5403 49 – – other
The provisions of the HS Explanatory Note to heading 5402 apply, mutatis mutandis, to the products of that heading.

Notes to chapter 54 — Man-made filaments; strip and the like of man-made textile materials 2 items
Notes
English text as published in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/1832 (Combined Nomenclature). The EAEU tariff and the EU nomenclature copy these notes from the same convention. For a Russian declaration the binding version is the Russian one: Annex to Decision No 80 of the EEC Council of 14 September 2021.
1. Throughout the nomenclature, the term ‘man-made fibres’ means staple fibres and filaments of organic polymers produced by manufacturing processes, either:
(a) by polymerisation of organic monomers to produce polymers such as polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins or polyurethanes, or by chemical modification of polymers produced by this process (for example, poly(vinyl alcohol) prepared by the hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate)); or
(b) by dissolution or chemical treatment of natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose) to produce polymers such as cuprammonium rayon (cupro) or viscose rayon, or by chemical modification of natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose, casein and other proteins, or alginic acid), to produce polymers such as cellulose acetate or alginates. The terms ‘synthetic’ and ‘artificial’, used in relation to fibres, mean: synthetic: fibres as defined at (a); artificial: fibres as defined at (b). Strip and the like of heading 5404 or 5405 are not considered to be man-made fibres. The terms ‘man-made’, ‘synthetic’ and ‘artificial’ shall have the same meanings when used in relation to ‘textile materials’.
2. Headings 5402 and 5403 do not apply to synthetic or artificial filament tow of Chapter 55.
