HS v2017 Code: 540341

About yarn, artificial; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of viscose rayon (not high tenacity), multiple (folded) or cabled, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS code 540341 covers a specific type of artificial yarn made from viscose rayon. This yarn is an essential 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 yarn, it is commonly used in the production of fabrics, garments, and other textile products that require a softer, more supple hand feel. The global demand for this yarn remains strong, driven by the continued growth of the textile industry and the increasing preference for sustainable and eco-friendly textile solutions.

Production process

The production of HS code 540341 yarn involves a multi-step process. First, viscose rayon is extruded through a spinneret to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and plied together to create the final yarn. The key production techniques include extrusion, drawing, twisting, and cabling, all of which are carefully controlled to ensure the desired properties of the yarn, such as fineness, strength, and uniformity.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 540341 yarn is viscose rayon, a regenerated cellulose fiber derived from wood pulp. Other key inputs include specialized machinery for extrusion, drawing, and twisting, as well as energy sources and water for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry may rely on various chemical additives and treatments to enhance the yarn's properties, such as softeners, lubricants, and anti-static agents.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 540341 is the artificial filament yarn itself, which is then used as a raw material in the production of a wide range of textile products. This yarn may be consumed by manufacturers of 540700 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, 540710 Woven fabrics obtained from high tenacity yarn of viscose rayon, and 540720 Woven fabrics obtained from strip or the like of artificial textile materials, among others. The versatility of this yarn allows it to be incorporated into a diverse range of textile applications, from apparel and home furnishings to industrial textiles.
