Fabrics, woven; from strip or the like, of synthetic textile materials

HS v2017 Code: 540720

About fabrics, woven; from strip or the like, of synthetic textile materials

HS code 540720 covers woven fabrics made from synthetic textile materials, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. These fabrics are widely used in the textile and apparel industries, as they offer a range of desirable properties, including durability, wrinkle resistance, and easy care. The global market for synthetic textile fabrics is substantial, driven by factors such as the growing demand for affordable and versatile clothing, the rise of fast fashion, and the increasing preference for synthetic materials over natural fibers.

Production process

The production of woven fabrics under HS code 540720 typically involves several key steps. First, synthetic fibers are extruded and spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven on specialized looms, using techniques such as plain weave, twill, or satin, to create the desired fabric structure and appearance. The woven fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment, to impart specific properties or aesthetic qualities.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 540720 fabrics include synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic, as well as weaving machinery, dyes, and various chemical additives. The quality and characteristics of the final fabric are heavily dependent on the choice and properties of the raw materials used. Additionally, access to reliable energy sources, water, and skilled labor are important factors in the production process.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 540720 are primarily used in the manufacture of a wide range of textile products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications. These fabrics may be further processed or combined with other materials to create finished goods, such as 540741 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of filaments of nylon or other polyamides, 540751 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, or 540761 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of non-textured polyester filaments.
