About yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), other than high tenacity or textured yarn, single, twisted more than 50 turns per metre, n.e.c. in heading no. 5402, not for retail sale, not sewing thread
HS code 540259 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 fine denier (less than 67 decitex) and high twist, making it suitable for a variety of applications where strength, durability, and versatility are required. The global market for this type of yarn is significant, with demand driven by the growing need for high-performance textile materials in sectors such as fashion, sportswear, and industrial textiles.
Production process
The production of HS code 540259 yarn typically involves a multi-step process. First, synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, are extruded through fine spinnerets to create continuous filaments. These filaments are then twisted at a high rate, often exceeding 50 turns per meter, to impart the desired level of strength and stability. The twisted filaments may undergo additional processing, such as drawing or heat-setting, to further enhance their properties before being packaged for distribution.
Production inputs
The key inputs required for the production of HS code 540259 yarn include synthetic polymer resins, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, twisting, and finishing. High-precision spinnerets, twist-imparting equipment, and temperature-controlled environments are all essential components of the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are necessary to power the production facilities.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 540259 is a type of synthetic yarn or filament that is used in a wide range of textile applications. This yarn may be further processed or combined with other materials to create fabrics, garments, and industrial textiles. Some of the industries that may consume this type of yarn include 540220 Synthetic filament tow, 540233 Synthetic filament yarn, single, of polyesters, not put up for retail sale, and 540244 Synthetic filament yarn, single, of polypropylene, not put up for retail sale.
