HS v2017 Code: 540342

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

HS code 540342 covers the production and trade of artificial filament yarn made from cellulose acetate. This yarn is a versatile material used in a wide range of textile applications, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial products. As a key component in the global textile supply chain, the industry represented by this code plays an important role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of artificial filament yarn under HS code 540342 typically involves a multi-step process. First, cellulose acetate is extruded through small holes to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and combined to create the desired yarn structure. Depending on the end-use requirements, the yarn may undergo additional processing, such as dyeing or finishing, before being sold in the market.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 540342 yarn include cellulose acetate as the primary raw material, as well as various chemicals, dyes, and machinery for the extrusion, drawing, and twisting processes. Specialized equipment, such as spinnerets and winding machines, are also essential for the manufacturing of this type of artificial filament yarn.

Production outputs

The output of HS code 540342 is artificial filament yarn made from cellulose acetate. This yarn is commonly used as a raw material by manufacturers of 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn and 540752 Woven fabrics, containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, among other textile products. The versatility of this yarn allows it to be incorporated into a wide range of textile applications, contributing to its importance in the global trade of textile materials.
