What determines the tariff number?
- Fiber type. Network cables are classified by their fiber composition. Synthetic short fibers made from nylon, polyamides, aramids, or other materials result in different HS codes.
- Base material. Exact material composition is decisive. Cables made from polyester, polyacrylic, modacrylic, polypropylene, or cellulose acetate receive different tariff classifications.
- Synthetic filament vs. natural fiber. The distinction between artificial filaments and synthetic short fibers significantly affects classification and must be accurately documented.
