About HS Code 540341

This HS code covers multiple (folded) or cabled yarns made from viscose rayon filament, specifically those with a linear density of less than 67 decitex, not of high tenacity, and not prepared for retail sale or as sewing thread. Viscose rayon is a regenerated cellulose fiber known for its softness, absorbency, and excellent drape, making these multi-ply yarns suitable for a wide array of textile applications. International trade involves textile manufacturers importing these yarns for weaving and knitting into apparel, home textiles like bedding and upholstery, and certain industrial fabrics. Exporters are typically large-scale yarn producers and chemical companies. The 'multiple or cabled' structure provides increased strength and bulk compared to single yarns, while 'not high tenacity' indicates their primary use in comfort-oriented textiles rather than heavy-duty industrial applications.

Products Under This Code

Viscose rayon folded yarn, cabled viscose filament, multiple viscose rayon yarn, textile-grade viscose yarn, low-tenacity viscose yarn, 2-ply viscose rayon yarn

Real World Examples

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with single viscose rayon yarns (540331) or high-tenacity viscose rayon yarns (540310), which have different applications and properties, necessitating structural and tenacity checks.
