About artificial filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including artificial monofilament of less than 67 decitex

HS code 5403 covers a wide range of artificial filament yarns, excluding sewing thread, that are not packaged for retail sale. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a variety of fabrics, garments, and other textile-based products. The demand for these artificial filament yarns is driven by their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness compared to natural fibers, making them an integral component of the broader manufacturing and consumer goods sectors.

Production process

The production of artificial filament yarns under HS code 5403 typically involves the extrusion of synthetic polymers, such as polyester, nylon, or rayon, through small orifices to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and sometimes textured to impart desired properties, such as strength, elasticity, or a specific appearance. The resulting yarns can be further processed through various finishing techniques, including dyeing, sizing, or heat-setting, to meet the specific requirements of downstream industries.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of artificial filament yarns under HS code 5403 include synthetic polymers, such as polyester, nylon, or rayon, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, drawing, and twisting the filaments. Additionally, various chemicals and additives may be used to enhance the properties of the yarns, such as dyes, sizing agents, or lubricants. The availability and cost of these raw materials and equipment are crucial factors in the competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The artificial filament yarns produced under HS code 5403 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacturing of a wide range of textile products, including 5407 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 5408 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, and 5516 Woven fabrics of artificial staple fibers. These yarns are also used in the production of 5601 Wadding, felt and nonwovens; special yarns; twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof, as well as in the manufacture of various industrial and technical textiles.
