Yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), textured, of polyesters, not for retail sale, not sewing thread
HS v2022 Code: 540233
About yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), textured, of polyesters, not for retail sale, not sewing thread
HS code 540233 covers the import and export of synthetic filament yarn, specifically polyester monofilament less than 67 decitex in weight, that has been textured and is not intended for retail sale or use as sewing thread. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing a versatile raw material for the production of a wide range of fabrics and garments.
Production process
The production of the yarn covered by HS code 540233 typically involves the extrusion of molten polyester polymer through a spinneret to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn and textured, often through a process of false-twist texturing, to impart the desired physical characteristics such as increased bulk and stretch. The textured filaments are then wound onto bobbins or packages, ready for further processing or weaving into fabrics.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 540233 yarn include polyester polymer resin, which serves as the raw material, as well as specialized machinery for the extrusion, drawing, and texturing processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production equipment, and skilled labor is required to operate the machinery and ensure quality control.
Production outputs
The yarn produced under HS code 540233 is a versatile raw material that is consumed by a variety of downstream industries, including the manufacture of 540741 woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 540752 woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, and 540761 woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. These fabrics are then used in the production of a wide range of textile products, such as apparel, home furnishings, and industrial textiles.
Revisions to 540233
