Yarn, artificial; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of cellulose acetate, single, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS v2017 Code: 540333

About yarn, artificial; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of cellulose acetate, single, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS code 540333 covers the production and trade of artificial filament yarn made from cellulose acetate. This type of yarn is widely used in the textile industry, particularly in the manufacture of clothing, upholstery, and other fabric-based products. As a versatile and cost-effective material, cellulose acetate yarn plays a significant role in the global textile supply chain and the broader economy.

Production process

The production of cellulose acetate yarn (HS 540333) typically involves a multi-step process. First, cellulose is chemically treated to produce cellulose acetate, which is then extruded through spinnerets to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and wound onto bobbins or spools, ready for further processing or weaving into fabrics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cellulose acetate yarn (HS 540333) include cellulose, acetic acid, and various chemical additives. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, drawing equipment, and winding machines, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and cost of these raw materials and equipment can significantly impact the overall production and competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 540333 is cellulose acetate yarn, which is then used as a raw material by various 540700 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn and 540800 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn manufacturers. This yarn is also consumed by producers of 621600 Gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or crocheted and other textile-based products.
