HS v2017 Code: 540821

About fabrics, woven; of artificial filament yarn, containing 85% or more by weight of artificial filament, strip or the like, bleached or unbleached

HS code 540821 covers a crucial segment of the textile industry, encompassing woven fabrics made from artificial filament yarn. These fabrics, containing 85% or more artificial filament by weight, are widely used in a range of applications, from apparel to home furnishings. As a key component in the global textile supply chain, this industry plays a vital role in meeting the growing demand for versatile and sustainable textile solutions.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 540821 typically involves a multi-step process. First, artificial filament yarns are extruded and spun, often from synthetic polymers such as polyester or nylon. These yarns are then woven into a fabric using advanced weaving techniques, which can include plain weave, twill, or satin constructions. The fabrics may undergo additional finishing processes, such as bleaching or dyeing, to achieve the desired appearance and properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 540821 include artificial filament yarns, which serve as the primary raw material. These yarns are typically manufactured from synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized weaving machinery, including looms and related equipment, to transform the yarns into the final woven fabric. Other important inputs may include dyes, chemicals, and energy sources required for the various production and finishing stages.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 540821 is woven fabrics made from artificial filament yarn, containing 85% or more artificial filament by weight. These fabrics can be used in a wide range of applications, including 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 540760 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of non-textured polyester filaments, and 540769 Fabrics, woven; containing less than 85% by weight of synthetic filaments, mixed mainly or solely with cotton. The versatility of these fabrics makes them a valuable input for various textile-based industries, such as apparel, home furnishings, and industrial applications.
