Patent Application
20140227504
The present patent application generally relates to textile technologies and more specifically to a metalized yarn, which can be worked into textile products that are qualified to be classified into a classification with a more favorable import duty than regular textile products and yet having visual appearance and color indistinguishable from similar regular textile products.
The laws of the United States impose tariffs, in the form of duties, on textile products imported from other countries into the United States. In the United States, these duties are imposed pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Duties are imposed through classifying various textile products under the Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) with corresponding tariff duty rates. The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) publishes and maintains the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and provides technical information on its structure and modification.
The Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of the Department of Homeland Security is solely authorized to interpret the HTS, to issue legally binding Rulings or advice on the tariff classification of imports and their treatment upon entry into the United States, and to administer the Customs laws. In the HTS system, favorable tariff rates are accorded to textile products made with fabric that are woven or knitted with metalized yarns as the chief weight.
Specification of metalized yarn under HTSUS 5605.00 is as follows:
Metalized yarns have been known for more than 3000 years. Gold and silver were hammered into extremely thin sheets, and then cut into ribbons and worked into fabrics. With the advancement of technology, various methods have been developed to produce metalized yarns, such as Lurex® yarns. Such yarns are typically produced by vacuum depositing a layer of metallic particles on a Mylar Film, bonding a polyester layer on top of it as protection, and slicing the sandwich film into very thin strips to form yarns. Alternatively very thin metal films can be used in place of the vacuum deposited layer. The metalized yarn thus produced can be plied with other textile yarns to produce composite yarns. Another method is to use very thin metal wires to form composite yarns with other textile materials. The appearance of these yarns is shiny and metallic. In addition, the cost of these yarns is necessarily increased due to the use of more materials.
The present patent application is directed to a metalized yarn. In one aspect, the metalized yarn includes at least one man-made fiber material and at least one metal powder. The man-made fiber material is transformed into a slurry to which the metal powder is then introduced. The slurry is subsequently forced and elongated so as to form the metalized yarn. The metal powder is distributed throughout and embedded within the man-made fiber material but not present on the surface of the metalized yarn so that the metalized yarn has appearance and color indistinguishable from regular yarns and is classified under HTSUS 5605.00.9000.
The metal powder may include the powder of at least one material selected from the group consisting of: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, francium, beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium, zinc, molybdenum, cadmium, scandium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, yttrium, zirconium, niobium, technetium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold, mercury, rutherfordium, dubnium, seaborgium, bohrium, hassium, copernicium, aluminium, gallium, indium, tin, thallium, lead, bismuth, polonium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, actinium, thorium, protactinium, uranium, neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium, meitnerium, darmstadtium, roentgenium, ununtrium, flerovium, ununpentium, livermorium, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and astatine.
