Synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more, of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm; strip and the like (e.g. artificial straw) of synthetic textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5mm
In plain English
This category covers synthetic single strands that are at least 67 decitex in thickness and do not exceed one millimeter in any cross-sectional measurement, as well as strips of synthetic textile materials with an apparent width of five millimeters or less. The items are separated into specific groups based on their material composition and type. One group includes elastic single strands, while another is reserved for those made of polypropylene. A third group captures other types of monofilament not listed elsewhere, and a final group accounts for the remaining synthetic filaments and strips.

Chapter 54 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Synthetic vs. artificial — synthetic = made from petrochemicals (polyester, nylon); artificial = made from natural cellulose (rayon, viscose, lyocell).
