5508 10 10 — Sewing thread of synthetic staple fibres (excl. that put up for retail sale)
Sewing thread of synthetic staple fibres (excl. that 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.

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.
5508 Sewing threads made of chemical fibers, packaged or not packaged for retail sale: 5508 10 – from synthetic fibers 5508 20 – from artificial fibers
This heading covers sewing threads subject to the conditions laid down in paragraph (I)(B)(4) of the general provisions of Section XI.
