About yarn, artificial; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of viscose rayon (not high tenacity), single, untwisted or twisted 120 turns per metre or less, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS code 540331 covers a specific type of artificial yarn made from viscose rayon. This yarn is a crucial component in the textile and apparel industries, providing a versatile and cost-effective material for a wide range of applications. As a non-high tenacity filament, it offers unique properties that make it suitable for various manufacturing processes and end-products.

Production process

The production of yarn under HS code 540331 involves the extrusion of viscose rayon through spinnerets to create continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and wound onto bobbins or packages, depending on the specific requirements of the end-use. The low twist level, typically 120 turns per meter or less, ensures the yarn maintains its softness and drapeability, making it suitable for a variety of textile applications.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 540331 yarn is viscose rayon, a regenerated cellulose fiber derived from wood pulp. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires specialized machinery, such as extruders, drawing equipment, and winding machines, to ensure the consistent quality and properties of the final product. Energy, water, and various chemical additives may also be necessary for the production and finishing of this type of yarn.

Production outputs

The output of HS code 540331 is a versatile artificial yarn that can be used in a wide range of textile applications. This yarn is commonly used in the production of 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn and 540752 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 54.04, which are then further processed into a variety of garments, home textiles, and industrial products.
