Synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more, of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm; strip and the like (e.g. artificial straw) of synthetic textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5mm

HS v2017 Code: 5404

About synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more, of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm; strip and the like (e.g. artificial straw) of synthetic textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5mm

HS code 5404 covers a range of synthetic textile products, including monofilaments, strips, and artificial straw. These materials are widely used in various industries, from textiles and apparel to automotive and construction. As a key component in the global supply chain, the 5404 industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, providing essential raw materials and intermediate goods to a diverse array of downstream sectors.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 5404 typically involves extrusion and drawing processes. Synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, are melted and forced through small orifices to create continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn and stretched to achieve the desired thickness and properties. For strip and artificial straw products, the extruded material may be further slit or cut into narrow strips or straw-like shapes.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 5404 industry include synthetic polymers, such as polyester (5402 Synthetic filament yarn) or nylon (5402 Synthetic filament yarn), as well as specialized extrusion and drawing equipment. Additives, such as colorants or stabilizers, may also be incorporated into the production process to enhance the final product's characteristics.

Production outputs

The outputs of the 5404 industry are primarily used as intermediate goods in various textile and industrial applications. The monofilaments, strips, and artificial straw produced under this code are often consumed by industries such as 5407 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 5408 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, and 5601 Wadding, felt and nonwovens; special yarns, twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof. These materials can be further processed into a wide range of finished products, including textiles, ropes, and construction materials.
