Yarn; metallised, whether or not gimped, of textile yarn, or strip or the like of heading no. 5404 or 5405, combined with metal in the form of thread, strip or powder or covered with metal

In plain English

This category includes yarn that has been combined with metal, either by mixing in metal thread, strip, or powder, or by covering the material with metal. The metal can be added to standard textile yarn or to strips similar to those described in other specific textile categories. These items may also be gimped, which is a decorative twisting process. There is only one classification for these metallized yarns, so no further division is made within this group.
