About yarn, artificial; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of viscose rayon (not high tenacity), single, untwisted or twisted 120 turns per metre or less, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS code 540331 covers a specific type of artificial yarn made from viscose rayon. This yarn is a crucial component in the textile and apparel industries, providing a versatile and cost-effective material for a wide range of applications. As a non-high tenacity filament, it offers unique properties that make it suitable for various manufacturing processes and end-products.

Production process

The production of HS 540331 yarn involves the extrusion of viscose rayon through a spinneret, followed by a drawing process to achieve the desired thickness and properties. The resulting filaments are then either left untwisted or twisted at a rate of 120 turns per meter or less, depending on the specific requirements of the end-use application.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS 540331 yarn is viscose rayon, a regenerated cellulose fiber derived from wood pulp. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires specialized machinery and equipment, such as extruders, drawing units, and twisting mechanisms, to ensure the consistent quality and performance of the final product.

Production outputs

HS 540331 yarn is a versatile material that finds applications in a wide range of textile and apparel products. It is commonly used in the production of 540710 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn and 540752 Woven fabrics, containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, as well as in the manufacture of various types of clothing and home furnishings.
