HS v2017 Code: 540741

About fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of filaments of nylon or other polyamides, unbleached or bleached

HS code 540741 covers woven fabrics containing 85% or more by weight of filaments of nylon or other polyamides, which are unbleached or bleached. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of products, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial applications. The demand for these high-performance fabrics is driven by their durability, strength, and versatility, making them a staple in many industries.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 540741 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the nylon or polyamide filaments are extruded and then woven into a fabric using advanced weaving technologies. The fabric may then undergo various finishing processes, such as bleaching, to achieve the desired appearance and properties. Manufacturers often utilize state-of-the-art machinery and automation to ensure consistent quality and efficient production.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 540741 include nylon or polyamide filaments, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized weaving machinery, dyeing and finishing chemicals, and energy sources to power their production facilities. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of the industry.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 540741 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacture of a wide range of textile and apparel products. These fabrics may be further processed and incorporated into items such as 620520 Men's or boys' shirts, of cotton, 630231 Bed linen, of cotton, and 630260 Toilet linen and kitchen linen, of terry towelling or similar terry fabrics, of cotton. The versatility of these high-performance fabrics also makes them suitable for industrial applications, such as 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles, 640419 Footwear with outer soles of rubber or plastics and uppers of textile materials, and 701931 Mats, mattresses, boards and similar non-woven products.
