(ii) 125 g in other cases.

(B) Exceptions:

(a) single yarn of any textile material, except:

(a) cut otherwise than into squares or rectangles;

(b) produced in the finished state, ready for use (or merely needing separation by cutting dividing threads) without sewing or other working (for example, certain dusters, towels, table cloths, scarf squares, blankets);

(c) hemmed or with rolled edges, or with a knotted fringe at any of the edges, but excluding fabrics the cut edges of which have been prevented from unravelling by whipping or by other simple means;

(d) cut to size and having undergone a process of drawn thread work;

(e) assembled by sewing, gumming or otherwise (other than piece goods consisting of two or more lengths of identical material joined end to end and piece goods composed of two or more textiles assembled in layers, whether or not padded);

1. Chapters 50 to 55 and, except where the context otherwise requires, Chapters 56 to 60, do not apply to goods made up within the meaning of note 7 above. Chapters 50 to 55 do not apply to goods of Chapters 56 to 59.

1. The woven fabrics of Chapters 50 to 55 include fabrics consisting of layers of parallel textile yarns superimposed on each other at acute or right angles. These layers are bonded at the intersections of the yarns by adhesive or by thermal bonding.

1. For the purposes of this section, the expression ‘impregnated’ includes ‘dipped’.

1. For the purposes of this section, the expression ‘polyamides’ includes ‘aramids’.

1. Unless the context otherwise requires, textile garments of different headings are to be classified in their own headings even if put up in sets for retail sale.

Subheading notes

1. In this section and, where applicable, throughout the nomenclature, the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them:

(a) ‘Elastomeric yarn’:

Filament yarn, including monofilament, of synthetic textile material, other than textured yarn, which does not break on being extended to three times its original length and which returns, after being extended to twice its original length, within a period of five minutes, to a length not greater than one-and-a-half times its original length.

(b) ‘Unbleached yarn’:

Yarn which:

(i) has the natural colour of its constituent fibres and has not been bleached, dyed (whether or not in the mass) or printed; or

(ii) is of indeterminate colour (grey yarn), manufactured from garnetted stock.

Such yarn may have been treated with a colourless dressing or fugitive dye (which disappears after simple washing with soap) and, in the case of man-made fibres, treated in the mass with delustring agents (for example, titanium dioxide).

Yarn which:

(i) has undergone a bleaching process, is made of bleached fibres or, unless the context otherwise requires, has been dyed white (whether or not in the mass) or treated with a white dressing;

(ii) consists of a mixture of unbleached and bleached fibres; or

(iii) is multiple (folded) or cabled and consists of unbleached and bleached yarns.

(d) ‘ Coloured (dyed or printed) yarn ’:

Yarn which:

(i) is dyed (whether or not in the mass) other than white or in a fugitive colour or printed, or made from dyed or printed fibres;

(ii) consists of a mixture of dyed fibres of different colours or of a mixture of unbleached or bleached fibres with coloured fibres (marl or mixture yarns), or is printed in one or more colours at intervals to give the impression of dots;

(iii) is obtained from slivers or rovings which have been printed; or

(iv) is multiple (folded) or cabled and consists of unbleached or bleached yarn and coloured yarn.

The above definitions also apply mutatis mutandis to monofilament and to strip or the like of Chapter 54.

(e) ‘ Unbleached woven fabric ’:

Woven fabric made from unbleached yarn and which has not been bleached, dyed or printed. Such fabric may have been treated with a colourless dressing or a fugitive dye.

(f) ‘ Bleached woven fabric ’:

Woven fabric which:

(i) has been bleached or, unless the context otherwise requires, dyed white or treated with a white dressing, in the piece;

(ii) consists of bleached yarn; or

(iii) consists of unbleached and bleached yarn.

(g) ‘ Dyed woven fabric ’:

Woven fabric which:

(i) is dyed a single uniform colour other than white (unless the context otherwise requires) or has been treated with a coloured finish other than white (unless the context otherwise requires), in the piece; or

(ii) consists of coloured yarn of a single uniform colour.

(h) ‘ Woven fabric of yarns of different colours ’:

Woven fabric (other than printed woven fabric) which:

(i) consists of yarns of different colours or yarns of different shades of the same colour (other than the natural colour of the constituent fibres);

(ii) consists of unbleached or bleached yarn and coloured yarn; or

(iii) consists of marl or mixture yarns.

(In all cases, the yarn used in selvedges and piece ends is not taken into consideration.)

(ij) ‘Printed woven fabric’:

Woven fabric which has been printed in the piece, whether or not made from yarns of different colours.

(The following are also regarded as printed woven fabrics: woven fabrics bearing designs made, for example, with a brush or spray gun, by means of transfer paper, by flocking or by the batik process.)

The process of mercerization does not affect the classification of yarns or fabrics within the above categories.

(k) ‘Plain weave’:

A fabric construction in which each yarn of the weft passes alternately over and under successive yarns of the warp and each yarn of the warp passes alternately over and under successive yarns of the weft.

1. - (A) Products of Chapters 56 to 63 containing two or more textile materials are to be regarded as consisting wholly of that textile material which would be selected under note 2 to this section for the classification of a product of Chapters 50 to 55 consisting of the same textile materials.

(B) For the application of this rule:

(a) where appropriate, only the part which determines the classification under interpretative rule 3 shall be taken into account;

(b) in the case of textile products consisting of a ground fabric and a pile or looped surface no account shall be taken of the ground fabric;

(c) in the case of embroidery of heading No 5810 only the ground fabric shall be taken into account. However, embroidery without visible ground shall be classified with reference to the embroidering threads alone.

Additional note

1. For the application of note 13 to this section, the term ‘textile garments’ means garments of heading Nos 6101 to 6114 and 6201 to 6211.

(b) ‘fine animal hair’ means the hair of alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel, yak, Angora, Tibetan, Kashmir or similar goats (but not common goats), rabbit (including Angora rabbit), hare, beaver, nutria or musk-rat;

(c) ‘coarse animal hair’ means the hair of animals not mentioned above, excluding brush-making hair and bristles (heading No 0502) and horsehair (heading No 0503).

Additional note

1. For the purposes of subheadings 5111 11 11, 5111 11 19, 5111 19 11 and 5111 19 19, the expression ‘Loden fabrics’ means plain-weave fabrics weighing 250 g/m2 or more but not exceeding 450 g/m2, fulled, single-coloured or with mixed or mottled yarns, made from single yarns of carded wool mixed with fine animal hair; the fabrics may also contain coarse animal hair or man-made fibres. The fibres are laid or oriented in the same direction by a surface treatment which renders the fabrics waterproof

CHAPTER 54

MAN-MADE FILAMENTS

Notes

1. Throughout the nomenclature, the term ‘man-made fibres’ means staple fibres and filaments of organic polymers produced by manufacturing processes, either:

(a) by polymerization of organic monomers, such as polyamides, polyesters, polyurethanes or polyvinyl derivatives; or

(b) by chemical transformation of natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose, casein, proteins or algae), such as viscose rayon, cellulose acetate, cupro 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).

The terms ‘man-made’, ‘synthetic’ and ‘artificial’ shall have the same meanings when used in relation to ‘textile materials’.

1. Heading Nos 5402 and 5403 do not apply to synthetic or artificial filament tow of Chapter 55.

Note

1. Heading Nos 5501 and 5502 apply only to man-made filament tow, consisting of parallel filaments of a uniform length equal to the length of the tow, meeting the following specifications:

(a) length of tow exceeding 2 m;

(b) twist less than five turns per metre;

(d) synthetic filament tow only: the tow must be drawn, that is to say, be incapable of being stretched by more than 100 % of its length;

(e) total measurement of tow more than 20 000 decitex.

Tow of a length not exceeding 2 m is to be classified within heading No 5503 or 5504.
