CHAPTER 54 MAN-MADE FILAMENTS; STRIP AND THE LIKE OF MAN-MADE TEXTILE MATERIALS Notes 1. Throughout the nomenclature, the term man-made fibres means staple fibres and filaments organic polymers produced by manufacturing processes, either: (a) by polymerisation organic monomers to produce polymers such as polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins or polyurethanes, or by chemical modification polymers produced by this process (for example, poly(vinyl alcohol) prepared by the hydrolysis poly(vinyl acetate)); or (b) by dissolution or chemical treatment natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose) to produce polymers such as cupramm onium rayon (cupro) or viscose rayon, or by chemical modification natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose, casein and other proteins, or alginic acid), to produce polymers such as cellulose acetatate 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). Strip and the like heading 5404 or 5405 are not considered to be man-made fibres. The terms man-made, synthetic and artificial shall have the same meanings when used in relation to textile materials. 2. Headings 5402 and 5403 do not apply to synthetic or artificial filament tow Chapter 55. 1
