What this chapter covers

This chapter covers man-made filaments, the yarns made from them, strip and similar man-made textile materials, and the fabrics woven from such yarns. The notes separate synthetic from artificial by how the fibre is produced: synthetic fibres come from the polymerisation of organic monomers used to make polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins or polyurethanes, while artificial fibres come from the chemical treatment or transformation of natural organic polymers such as cellulose. Continuous filament products stay in this chapter, whereas staple (cut) fibres belong to Chapter 55.

• Sewing thread of man-made filaments, whether or not put up for retail sale (54.01)
• Synthetic filament yarn, including synthetic monofilament of less than 67 decitex, not put up for retail sale (54.02)
• Artificial filament yarn, including artificial monofilament of less than 67 decitex, not put up for retail sale (54.03)
• Synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more with no cross-sectional dimension over 1 mm, and strip and the like of an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm (54.04)
• Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including those made from the materials of 54.04 (54.07)
• Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn (54.08)
• Terminology: "synthetic" for fibres obtained by polymerisation, "artificial" for fibres derived from natural organic polymers

Not covered by this chapter

• Synthetic or artificial filament tow of Chapter 55 does not fall in headings 54.02 and 54.03
• Strip and the like of headings 54.04 and 54.05 are not regarded as man-made fibres

Chapter notes (official Turkish text)

1. Tarifenin neresinde geçerse geçsin " sentetik ve suni lifler " tabirinden aşağıda yazılı işlemlerden

biriyle üretilen organik polimerlein filamentleri ve devamsız lifler anlamına gelir :

(a) Poliamidlerin, poliesterlerin, poliolefinlerin veya poliüretanların üretiminde kullanılan organik

monomerlerin polimerizasyonu ile veya bu işlemle üretilen polimerlerin kimyasal değişimiyle (örneğin,

poli(vinil asetat) hidrolizi ile hazırlanmış poli(vinil alkol)); veya

(b) Vizkoz ipeği veya kuproamonyum ipeği (kupro) gibi polimerlerin üretilmesinde kullanılan tabii organik

monomerlerin (örneğin,selüloz) kimyasal olarak işlenmesi veya çözünmesiyle veya selüloz asetat veya aljinat gibi

polimerlerin üretilmesinde kullanılan tabii organik polimerlerin (örneğin, selüloz, kazein ve diğer proteinler veya

aljinik asit) kimyasal değişimi ile.

" Sentetik " ve " suni " terimleri liflerle ilgili olarak kullanıldığında:

Sentetik'ten (a) bendinde tanımlanan lifler; suni'den (b) bendinde tanımlanan lifler anlaşılır.

54.04 veya 54.05 pozisyonunda yer alan şerit ve benzerleri sentetik ve suni lifler olarak kabul edilmez.

"Sentetik ve suni", "sentetik" ve "suni" ifadeleri dokumaya elverişli maddeler ile ilgili olarak kullanıldığında

aynı anlama sahiptir.

Import duty rates across this chapter

The range is always computed WITHIN a single column: showing the EU column and the all-other-countries column as one range would misstate the duty. The binding rate depends on the twelve-digit code and the country of origin.
