1.  Throughout the Schedule B, the term "manmade fibers" means staple fibers and                    
     filaments of organic polymers produced by manufacturing processes, either:                     
                                                                                                    
  (a). By polymerization of organic monomers, to produce polymers such as                           
        polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins or polyurethanes,  or by chemical                       
        modification of polymers produced by this process (for example, poly (vinyl                 
        alcohol) prepared by the hydrolysis of poly (vinyl acetate)), or                            
                                                                                                    
  (b). By dissolution of chemical treatment of natural organic polymers (for example,               
        cellulose) to produce polymers such as cuprammonium rayon (cupro) or viscose                
        rayon, or by chemical modification of natural organic polymers (for example,                
        cellulose, casein and other proteins, or alginic acid), to produce polymers such as         
        cellulose acetate or alginates.                                                             
                                                                                                    
    The terms "synthetic" and "artificial," used in relation to fibers, mean: synthetic:            
     fibers as defined at (a); artificial: fibers as defined at (b).  Strip and the like of heading 
     5404 or 5405 are not considered to be manmade fibers.                                          
                                                                                                    
    The terms "manmade," "synthetic" and "artificial" shall have the same meanings when             
     used in relation to "textile materials."                                                       
                                                                                                    
2.   Headings 5402 and 5403 do not apply to synthetic or artificial filament tow of chapter         
      55.
