About fabrics, woven; of artificial filament yarn, containing 85% or more by weight of artificial filament, strip or the like, bleached or unbleached

HS code 540821 covers a crucial segment of the textile industry, encompassing woven fabrics made from artificial filament yarn containing 85% or more by weight of artificial filament, strip, or the like. These fabrics are widely used in the production of a diverse range of textile products, from apparel to home furnishings, and play a vital role in the global textile supply chain. Their importance extends beyond the textile industry, as they serve as essential inputs for various manufacturing sectors, contributing to the broader economic landscape.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 540821 typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with the extrusion of artificial filaments, which are then spun, twisted, and woven into a fabric. The weaving process can utilize various techniques, such as plain weave, twill, or satin, to create the desired texture and appearance. Bleaching or unbleaching may be applied to the woven fabric to achieve the desired color or finish.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 540821 include artificial filament yarn, which serves as the main raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized weaving machinery, such as looms, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the finishing processes. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production facilities.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 540821 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacturing of a wide range of textile products, including 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 540760 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of non-textured polyester filaments, and 540771 Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic filaments, including monofilament of 67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm. These fabrics may also be used in the production of 630231 Bed linen, woven; of man-made fibers, not knitted or crocheted and 620342 Trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts; of cotton, for men or boys, not knitted or crocheted.
