About yarn, artificial; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), single, n.e.c. in heading no. 5403, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS code 540339 covers a specific type of artificial yarn and filament that is used in a variety of textile and manufacturing applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of fabrics, clothing, and other consumer and industrial goods. The demand for these products is driven by factors such as population growth, urbanization, and the increasing need for cost-effective and durable textile solutions.

Production process

The production of the yarn and filament covered under HS code 540339 typically involves a multi-step process. First, synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, are extruded through small holes to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn and stretched to achieve the desired thickness and properties. Finally, the filaments may be twisted or otherwise processed to create the final yarn or monofilament product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the goods covered under HS code 540339 include synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, drawing, and other processing steps. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities, and skilled labor is required to operate the equipment and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 540339 are artificial yarn and monofilament products that are used in a wide range of applications. These materials may be consumed by industries such as 540741 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 54.04, 540752 Woven fabrics, containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, and 540761 Woven fabrics, containing 85% or more by weight of non-textured polyester filaments, among others.
