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

HS code 540349 covers a range of artificial filament yarns that are used in a variety of textile and industrial applications. These yarns are an essential component in the production of fabrics, garments, and other textile-based products. The global artificial filament yarn market is a significant part of the broader textile industry, contributing to economic growth and international trade.

Production process

The production of artificial filament yarns covered under HS code 540349 typically involves the extrusion of synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, through fine spinnerets to create continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and combined to form the final yarn product. The specific techniques used may vary depending on the desired properties of the yarn, such as thickness, strength, and luster.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of artificial filament yarns under HS code 540349 include synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, drawing, and twisting the filaments. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production equipment, and skilled labor is required to operate the machinery and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 540349 is artificial filament yarn, which is used in the production of a wide range of textile products, including 540741 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 540744 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, and 540752 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. These yarns may also be used in the manufacture of industrial textiles, such as 590310 Textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, and in the production of various other products that require strong, durable, and versatile textile materials.
