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

HS code 540349 covers a range of artificial filament yarns that are used in a variety of textile and industrial applications. These yarns are an essential component in the production of fabrics, garments, and other textile-based products. The global artificial filament yarn market is a significant part of the broader textile industry, contributing to both domestic and international trade flows.

Production process

The production of artificial filament yarns covered under HS code 540349 typically involves the extrusion of synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, through fine spinnerets to create continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and combined to form the final yarn product. Depending on the specific application, the yarns may undergo additional processing steps, such as texturizing or dyeing, to impart desired properties and characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of artificial filament yarns under HS code 540349 include synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for the extrusion, drawing, and twisting processes. Additionally, energy sources, water, and various chemical additives may be necessary for the production and finishing of these yarns.

Production outputs

The artificial filament yarns produced under HS code 540349 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacturing of 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn and 540760 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments. These yarns may also be used in the production of 540810 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 54.05 and other textile-based products.
