About yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of nylon or other polymides (not high tenacity or textured), single, twisted more than 50 turns per metre, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS code 540251 covers a specific type of synthetic yarn and filament that is an essential component in a wide range of textile and industrial applications. This yarn is primarily made from nylon or other polymides, and its unique properties make it a crucial material for manufacturers across various sectors, including apparel, automotive, and industrial fabrics.

Production process

The production of the yarn and filament covered under HS code 540251 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as nylon or other polymides, are extruded into continuous filaments. These filaments are then twisted at a rate of more than 50 turns per meter, which enhances their strength and durability. Finally, the twisted filaments are processed and packaged for distribution, ensuring they meet the necessary quality and performance standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the yarn and filament under HS code 540251 include the raw materials, such as nylon or other polymides, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, twisting, and processing. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production equipment, and skilled labor is required to operate the machinery and ensure the quality of the final product.

Production outputs

The yarn and filament covered under HS code 540251 are primarily used as inputs for the production of a wide range of textile and industrial products. These include 540211 Yarn, synthetic; filament, high tenacity, of nylon or other polyamides, not for retail sale, 540232 Yarn, synthetic; filament, textured, of polyesters, not for retail sale, and 540233 Yarn, synthetic; filament, textured, of polyesters, not for retail sale, among others. The versatility of this material makes it a valuable component in the manufacturing of clothing, automotive parts, industrial fabrics, and a variety of other products.
