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

HS v2017 Code: 5405

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

HS code 5405 covers a range of artificial textile products, including monofilaments, strips, and other similar items. These materials are widely used in various industries, from textiles and apparel to industrial applications. As a key component in the production of many consumer and commercial goods, the 5405 industry plays a vital role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of artificial monofilaments and related products under HS code 5405 typically involves extrusion and drawing processes. Molten synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, are forced through small orifices to create continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn and stretched to the desired thickness and properties. Additional processing steps, such as cutting or slitting, may be used to create the final strip or straw-like products.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 5405 industry include synthetic polymers, such as polyester, nylon, or polypropylene, as well as specialized extrusion and drawing equipment. Manufacturers may also require additional materials, such as lubricants or surface treatments, to enhance the properties of the final products. The availability and cost of these raw materials and machinery can significantly impact the production and competitiveness of the 5405 industry.

Production outputs

The artificial monofilaments, strips, and similar products covered under HS code 5405 are used in a wide range of applications. They may be incorporated into 5407 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn or 5408 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn for use in textiles and apparel. Additionally, these materials can be used in 5601 Wadding, felt and nonwovens; special yarns, twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof for industrial and construction applications. The versatility of 5405 products makes them an essential component in many downstream industries.
