About yarn, artificial; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of cellulose acetate, multiple (folded) or cabled, not for retail sale, not sewing thread

HS code 540342 covers the production and trade of artificial filament yarn made from cellulose acetate. This yarn is a crucial input for various textile and apparel industries, contributing to the global supply chain. As a versatile material, it finds applications in clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles, making it an important component of the broader textile and fiber economy.

Production process

The production of HS 540342 yarn involves the extrusion of cellulose acetate through spinnerets to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and combined to create the desired yarn structure. The multiple (folded) or cabled configuration of the yarn is achieved through additional processing steps, ensuring the yarn's strength and durability for various applications.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS 540342 yarn is cellulose acetate, a synthetic polymer derived from cellulose. Other key inputs include specialized machinery for extrusion, drawing, and twisting the filaments, as well as energy sources and quality control systems to ensure consistent yarn properties. Manufacturers in this industry may also rely on various chemical additives and finishing agents to impart specific characteristics to the final yarn product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS 540342 is artificial filament yarn, which is then consumed by various downstream industries. This yarn may be used in the production of 540710 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn or 540752 Woven fabrics, containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, among other textile products. The versatility of this yarn allows it to be incorporated into a wide range of apparel, home textiles, and industrial applications.
