Heading 5308 : Yarn of other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn.
(A) Yarn of other vegetable textile fibres. This group covers yarns, whether single or multiple (folded), obtained by spinning the fibres of true hemp of heading 53.02, of the vegetable textile fibres of heading 53.05, or of the vegetable fibres not classified in Section XI (in particular those of Chapter 14, e.g., kapok or istle). However, if they are within the definition of twine, cordage, rope or cables (see Part (¥°) (B) (2) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI) they are classified in heading 56.07. Yarns of true hemp are used for sewing thread (e.g., in shoe or leather goods manufacture), or for weaving. Yarn remains in this group whether or not put up for retail sale or processed as indicated in Part (¥°) (B) (1) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI. Metallised yarns, including yarns of this group, combined with metal thread in any proportion, are excluded (heading 56.05). (B) Paper yarn. This group covers yarns, whether single or multiple (folded), of paper. They are classified here whether or not put up for retail sale, and whether or not in the form of twine, cordage, rope or cables, but excluding plaited cordage, rope and cables. Yarns remain in this group whether or not processed as indicated in Part (¥°) (B) (1) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI. Single yarns are obtained by twisting or rolling lengthwise strips of moist paper (sometimes coated); multiple (folded) yarns are obtained by doubling two or more single yarns. The heading does not include : (a) Paper simply folded one or more times lengthwise (Chapter 48). (b) Paper yarns spun with metal thread or covered with metal by any process (metallised yarns) (heading 56.05). (c) Paper yarns simply reinforced with metal, and plaited cordage, rope and cables, of paper yarn (heading 56.07).
