Chapter 54: Man-made filaments
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 540773 when importing or exporting woven fabrics that contain 85% or more synthetic filaments, excluding nylon or polyester. For example, a shipment of colorful woven fabric used in apparel or upholstery would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers fabrics made from synthetic filaments that are not nylon or polyester, which distinguishes it from HS-6 540774, that includes nylon-based fabrics. If your fabric is predominantly made from materials like acrylic or viscose, this is the correct classification.
Woven fabrics classified under this code may feature vibrant patterns or be made from yarns of different colors, making them suitable for fashion, home textiles, or industrial applications. Ensure the fabric composition is verified to meet the 85% synthetic filament requirement.
When considering other codes in the 5407 heading, note that HS-6 540775 includes fabrics made from nylon or polyester, which would not apply to your synthetic filament fabric if it meets the criteria for 540773.
