Classification of polyester staple fibre as textile material affirmed, requiring treatment under textile headings rather than as plastic articles. Polyester staple fibre produced from PET scrap and waste bottles is a man-made textile fibre; the production process from bottle flakes to staple does not change the nature of the finished product. Chapter notes defining man-made fibres govern classification, and the product's commercial uses in apparel, home furnishings and industrial textiles support treating it as a textile material rather than an article of plastic. Divergent practices are addressed and uniform classification under the appropriate textile heading is directed, with pending cases to be disposed accordingly.
