HS v2022 Code: 540249
About yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), other than high tenacity or textured yarn, single, untwisted or twisted 50 turns or less per metre, n.e.c. in heading no. 5402, not for retail sale, not sewing thread
HS code 540249 covers a specific type of synthetic yarn and filament that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. This yarn is characterized by its low decitex (less than 67) and lack of high tenacity or texturing, making it suitable for a variety of applications. As a non-retail, non-sewing thread product, this yarn plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, supporting the manufacturing of a wide range of textile goods.
Production process
The production of the yarn and filament covered under HS code 540249 typically involves the extrusion of synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, through fine spinnerets to create continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, cooled, and may undergo additional processing steps, such as twisting or texturing, to impart the desired properties. The resulting yarn is then packaged and prepared for distribution to various textile manufacturers.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of the goods under HS code 540249 include synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for the extrusion, drawing, and processing of the filaments. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities, and skilled labor is required to operate the equipment and ensure quality control.
Production outputs
The yarn and filament produced under HS code 540249 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacturing of a wide range of textile products, including 540220 Woven fabrics obtained from high tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides or of polyesters, 540710 Woven fabrics obtained from high tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides or of polyesters, and 540744 Woven fabrics obtained from synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 54.04. These textile products are then further processed and assembled into a variety of end-use items, such as apparel, home furnishings, and industrial textiles.
