About yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of high tenacity yarn of polyesters, whether or not textured, not for retail sale, not sewing thread
HS code 540220 covers the production and trade of synthetic filament yarn and monofilament less than 67 decitex, made from high-tenacity polyester. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of fabrics and end-products. The demand for these specialized synthetic fibers is driven by their superior strength, durability, and versatility, making them a preferred choice in various applications, from industrial textiles to high-performance sportswear.
Production process
The production of the goods covered by HS code 540220 typically involves a multi-step process. First, high-tenacity polyester filaments are extruded and drawn to the desired thickness and properties. These filaments may then undergo additional processing, such as texturing, to impart specific characteristics like increased bulk or improved hand-feel. The resulting yarn or monofilament is then packaged and prepared for distribution to downstream industries.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 540220 include high-tenacity polyester resin, which serves as the primary raw material. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, drawing equipment, and texturing units, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.
Production outputs
The synthetic filament yarn and monofilament produced under HS code 540220 are primarily consumed by the 540700 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn and 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 5404 industries, where they are used in the production of a wide range of fabrics. These fabrics are then further processed and transformed into a variety of end-products, including apparel, home textiles, and industrial applications.
Revisions to 540220
