About yarn, artificial; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), single, n.e.c. in heading no. 5403, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS code 540339 covers a specific type of artificial yarn and filament that is used in a variety of textile and manufacturing applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of fabrics, clothing, and other textile-based products. The demand for these specialized yarns and filaments is driven by factors such as advancements in textile technology, changing consumer preferences, and the need for sustainable and cost-effective textile solutions.

Production process

The production of the artificial yarns and filaments covered under HS code 540339 typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with the extrusion of synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, into continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and treated to achieve the desired properties, such as strength, luster, and fineness. The resulting yarns and filaments are then processed further, depending on their intended use, which may include dyeing, texturizing, or other finishing techniques.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of the artificial yarns and filaments under HS code 540339 include synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, drawing, and twisting. Additionally, various chemicals and additives may be used to enhance the properties of the final product. The availability and cost of these raw materials and equipment can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The artificial yarns and filaments produced under HS code 540339 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacturing of a wide range of textile products, including 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 540760 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, and 540769 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. These yarns and filaments may also be used in the production of industrial textiles, such as 590390 Textile fabrics, impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, other than those of heading 5902, as well as in the production of certain types of carpets and rugs.
