Notes that govern this classification
Zu Unterpositionen 5402 3100 bis 5402 3900: Siehe die Erläuterungen zu den Unterpositionen 5402 31 bis 5402 39 des HS.
Zu Unterpositionen 5402 31 bis 5402 39: Als texturierte Garne gelten Garne, die durch mechanische oder physikalische Verfahren (z. B. Torsionskräuselverfahren, Echt- oder Falschdrallverfahren, Kantenziehverfahren, Thermofixierung oder Kombination mehrerer dieser Verfahren) verändert wurden, so dass jede Einzelfaser gekräuselt, gefältelt, in Schlingen gelegt oder ähnlich verformt ist. Im gedehnten Zustand können die Fasern erneut ganz oder teilweise geradlinig sein, sie nehmen jedoch beim Nachlassen der Spannung ihre vorherige Form wieder an. Texturierte Garne kennzeichnen sich durch eine große Bauschigkeit oder eine sehr große Dehnbarkeit. Die hohe Elastizität in beiden Fällen macht sie zum Herstellen dehnbarer Waren (z. B. Strumpfhosen, Strümpfe, Unterkleidung) besonders geeignet, die Bauschigkeit der Garne verleiht den Erzeugnissen Weichheit und Wärme im Griff. …
Nationale Entscheidungen und Hinweise (NEH) Zu den Unterpositionen 5402 1100, 5402 1900 und 5402 2000 gehören auch Garne, die sowohl hochfest als auch texturiert sind (Ergebnis der 52. Sitzung des Ausschusses für das Harmonisierte System - Dok. NC 1937 Annex H 13 vom 15. Oktober 2013).
1. Als „Chemiefasern" gelten in allen Teilen der Nomenklatur Spinnfasern und Filamente aus organischen Polymeren, die hergestellt sind: a) durch Polymerisation von organischen Monomeren, um Polymere wie Polyamide, Polyester, Polyolefine oder Polyurethane zu erhalten, oder durch chemische Modifikation von Polymeren von aus diesem Prozess hervorgegangenen Polymeren (z. B. Poly(vinylalkohol) hergestellt aus der Hydrolyse von Poly(vinylacetat)) (RV E54011A0); b) durch Auflösung oder durch chemische Behandlung von natürlichen organischen Polymeren (z. B. Cellulose), um Polymere wie Kupferseide (Cupra) oder Viskose zu erhalten oder durch chemische Modifikation von natürlichen organischen Polymeren (z. B. Cellulose, Kasein und andere Proteine, Alginsäure), um Polymere wie Acetat-Cellulose oder Alginate zu erhalten (RV E54011B0). …
