About HS Code 540349
This HS code covers multiple (folded) or cabled artificial filament yarns, not specifically mentioned elsewhere in heading 5403, with a linear density of less than 67 decitex, and not put up for retail sale or as sewing thread. This 'n.e.c.' category includes various regenerated cellulose fibers like cuprammonium rayon, modal, or lyocell when they are processed into a multi-ply or cabled structure. These yarns are traded internationally for their enhanced strength, bulk, and specific aesthetic or performance properties, finding applications in specialized apparel, home furnishings, and technical textiles. Importers are often textile manufacturers seeking unique material characteristics, while exporters are advanced fiber and yarn producers. The 'multiple or cabled' aspect distinguishes them from single filaments, offering different textural and structural possibilities for fabric development.
