5503 90 — Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning (excl. those of polypropylene, acrylic, modacrylic, polyesters, nylon or other polyamides)
Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning (excl. those of polypropylene, acrylic, modacrylic, polyesters, nylon or other polyamides)
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.

The fibres of this heading shall be produced as specified in the general provisions of this Chapter. Synthetic fibers are usually pressed into kippas. The fibres are generally uniform in length, which distinguishes them from the waste of heading 5505. This heading also includes a burner of synthetic threads not exceeding 2 m in length, provided that each elemental thread has a linear density of less than 67 detexes. A string of synthetic threads more than 2 m in length is excluded from this heading (heading 5402 or 5501). Synthetic fibres subjected to cardo, combing or other preparation for spinning are also excluded from this heading (heading 5506).

1. Headings 5501 and 5502 cover only a chemical strand consisting of parallel strands of the same length as the length of a harness having the following characteristics:
(a) the length of the harness is more than 2 m;
(b) spin – less than 5 kr/m;
(c) the linear density of the elemental thread is less than 67 detex;
(d) only for synthetic threads: the harness must be pulled out, after which its tensile capacity does not exceed 100% of its length;
(д) общая линейная плотность жгута – более 20 000 дтекс.
A tourniquet not exceeding 2 m in length shall be classified in heading 5503 or 5504.
