• synthetic man-made filaments;

• artificial man-made filaments;

• current-conducting filaments;

• synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene;

• synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester;

• synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide;

• synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile;

• synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide;

• synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene;

• synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(phenylene sulphide);

• synthetic man-made staple fibres of poly(vinyl chloride);

• other synthetic man-made staple fibres;

• artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose;

• other artificial man-made staple fibres;

• yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped;

• yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester, whether or not gimped;

• goods of heading 5605 incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film;

• other goods of heading 5605;

• glass fibres;

• metal fibres.

Example:

A yarn, of heading 5205, made from cotton fibres of heading 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506, is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating materials which are synthetic staple fibres which do not satisfy the conditions may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10% of the weight of the yarn.

Example:

A woollen fabric, of heading 5112, made from woollen yarn of heading 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading 5509, is a mixed fabric. Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the conditions, or woollen yarn which does not satisfy the conditions, or a combination of the two, may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10% of the weight of the fabric.
