HS v2017 Code: 540239

About yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), textured, other than of nylon or other polymides, polyesters, or polypropylene, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS code 540239 covers a wide range of synthetic filament yarns and monofilaments that are textured and not intended for retail sale or use as sewing thread. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a variety of fabrics, garments, and other textile products. The demand for these specialized synthetic fibers is driven by their unique properties, such as durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, making them an integral component of the modern textile industry.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 540239 typically involves a multi-step process. First, synthetic polymers, such as polyester or polyamide, are extruded into continuous filaments. These filaments are then subjected to a texturing process, which imparts a specific surface texture or crimp to the yarn, enhancing its properties and appearance. The textured filaments may undergo further processing, such as twisting or plying, to create the desired yarn characteristics before being packaged and distributed for use in various textile applications.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of the materials covered under HS code 540239 include synthetic polymer resins, such as polyester or polyamide, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, texturing, and yarn processing. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production equipment, and skilled labor is required to operate the machinery and ensure quality control throughout the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 540239 are synthetic filament yarns and monofilaments that are used in the production of a wide range of textile products, including apparel, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. These materials may be further processed or combined with other fibers to create fabrics with specific properties and characteristics. Some of the other HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 540211 Yarn, synthetic; filament, nylon or other polyamides, not for retail sale, 540233 Yarn, synthetic; filament, polyester, textured, not for retail sale, and 540246 Yarn, synthetic; filament, polyester, not for retail sale, not sewing thread.
