Throughout the Schedule B, the term "manmade fibers" means staple fibers and filaments of organic polymers produced by manufacturing processes, either: (a). By polymerization 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 of 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 fibers, mean: synthetic: fibers as defined at (a); artificial: fibers as defined at (b). Strip and the like of heading 5404 or 5405 are not considered to be manmade fibers. The terms "manmade," "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. Statistical Note 1. For the purposes of the woven fabrics of chapter 54, unless the context otherwise requires, provisions relating to one or more weaves embrace only those fabrics which (excluding selvage) are wholly of the specified weave or weaves, including combinations exclusively thereof. 5401 Sewing thread of manmade filaments, whether or not put up for retail sale: 5401100000 Of synthetic filaments . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5401200000 Of artificial filaments . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5402 Synthetic filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including synthetic monofilament of less than 67 decitex (60.306 denier): High tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides: 5402110000 Of aramids . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5402190000 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5402200000 High tenacity yarn of polyesters . . . . . .kg Textured yarn: 5402310000 Of nylon or other polyamides, measuring per single yarn not more than 500 decitex (450 denier) . .kg 5402320000 Of nylon or other polyamides, measuring per single yarn more than 500 decitex (450 denier) . . . .kg 5402330000 Of polyesters . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5402340000 Of polypropylene . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5402390002 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg Other yarn, single, untwisted or with a twist not exceeding 50 turns per meter: 5402440000 Elastomeric . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 540245 Other, of nylon or other polyamides: Monofilament; multifilament, untwisted or with a twist of less than 5 turns per meter: 5402450010 Multifilament, partially oriented . .kg 5402450030 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5402450040 Multifilament, with twist of 5 turns or more per meter kg 5402460000 Other, of polyesters, partially oriented .kg 540247 Other, of polyesters: 5402470020 Monofilament; multifilament, untwisted or with a twist of less than 5 turns per meter . . . . .kg 5402470040 Multifilament, with twist of 5 turns or more per meter kg 5402480000 Other, of polypropylene . . . . . . . . .kg 540249 Other: Monofilament; multifilament, untwisted or with a twist of less than 5 turns per meter: 5402490110 Of polyethylene or polypropylene . .kg 5402490140 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg Multifilament, with twist of 5 turns or more per meter: 5402490170 Of polyethylene or polypropylene . .kg 5402490180 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg Other yarn, single, with a twist exceeding 50 turns per meter: 5402510000 Of nylon or other polyamides . . . . . . .kg 5402520000 Of polyesters . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5402590000 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg Other yarn, multiple (folded) or cabled: 5402610000 Of nylon or other polyamides . . . . . . .kg 5402620000 Of polyesters . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5402690000 Other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5403 Artificial filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including artificial monofilament of less than 67 decitex (60.306 denier): 5403100000 High tenacity yarn of viscose rayon . . . . .kg Other yarn, single: 5403310000 Of viscose rayon, untwisted or with a twist not exceeding 120 turns per meter . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5403320000 Of viscose rayon, with a twist exceeding 120 turns per meter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .kg 5403330000 Of cellulose acetate . . . . . . . . . . .
