Classification of yarn from viscose and polyester waste as non synthetic staple fibre leads to viscose staple fibre tariff treatment. Yarn made from viscose staple fibre blended with non-cellulosic soft waste (polyester waste) is classifiable under Heading 55.05 because fibres recovered from synthetic waste are of variable, non uniform length and therefore do not meet the technological definition of synthetic staple fibres in Heading 55.06; the Board's view rests on the Deputy Chief Chemist's technical opinion and prior tribunal and high court decisions to the same effect.
