Fine denier PSF is classifiable under the HTSUS subheading 5503.20.0025. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive. 5. For imports of fine denier PSF from Korea, CBP shall suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 07/19/2018 (date of publication of the International Trade Commission final determination in the Federal Register).
