Fabrics, woven; from strip or the like, of synthetic textile materials

HS v2022 Code: 540720

About fabrics, woven; from strip or the like, of synthetic textile materials

HS code 540720 covers woven fabrics made from synthetic textile materials, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. These fabrics are widely used in the production of clothing, upholstery, and a variety of other textile products. The global synthetic textile industry is a significant contributor to the world economy, with a market size estimated at over $300 billion annually. As consumer demand for affordable, durable, and versatile textile materials continues to grow, the importance of this industry is expected to remain high.

Production process

The production of woven fabrics under HS code 540720 typically involves several key steps. First, synthetic fibers are extruded and then spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven together on specialized looms to create the desired fabric structure and pattern. Depending on the specific application, the fabrics may undergo additional finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or the application of coatings or treatments to enhance their properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 540720 fabrics include synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic, as well as specialized weaving machinery and equipment. Additionally, various chemicals and dyes may be used in the finishing processes. The availability and cost-effectiveness of these raw materials and production technologies are crucial factors in the competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 540720 are primarily used in the manufacturing of 610510 Men's or boys' shirts, knitted or crocheted, 620342 Men's or boys' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts, of cotton, 630231 Bed linen, of cotton, and a wide range of other textile products. These fabrics are valued for their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, making them an essential component in the global textile supply chain.
