HS Code 54.07 – Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading no. 5404

What HS 54.07 covers

Heading 5407 encompasses woven fabrics composed primarily of synthetic filament yarn, explicitly including those fabrics obtained from materials of heading 5404 (synthetic monofilament or strip). This classification is crucial for woven textiles made from continuous synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and polypropylene. The scope is defined by the 'woven' construction and the 'synthetic filament' material, distinguishing it from knitted fabrics, nonwovens, or fabrics made from artificial (regenerated) filaments or staple fibers. Key sub-categories are determined by the specific synthetic polymer, weave type (e.g., plain, twill, satin), and finish. Accurate classification under 5407 is paramount for trade compliance, as it directly influences applicable duties, quotas, and rules of origin, which are particularly stringent for textile products. This heading represents a cornerstone of the global textile trade, providing versatile and durable materials for a vast array of applications, from apparel to industrial uses. It is a major component of Chapter 54, which focuses on man-made filaments and fabrics, signifying the significant role of synthetic filament woven fabrics in modern manufacturing and consumer markets.

Examples

A Vietnamese garment factory imports large rolls of woven polyester taffeta fabric from China for use as linings in jackets and coats, benefiting from its smooth texture and affordability. A German manufacturer of high-performance outdoor gear sources durable woven nylon ripstop fabric from Taiwan, utilizing its strength-to-weight ratio for tents and backpacks. An American textile distributor imports a variety of woven polyester satin fabrics from India, which are then sold to apparel manufacturers for dresses, blouses, and decorative home textile applications.

Codes often confused with 54.07

Common mistake. Misclassification often occurs by confusing 5407 with 5408, which covers woven fabrics of *artificial* filament yarn. The distinction between 'synthetic' and 'artificial' fibers is crucial and impacts duties and trade agreements. Another common error is classifying special woven fabrics, such as pile fabrics (e.g., velvet), narrow woven fabrics, or chenille fabrics under 5407; these typically belong to Chapter 58 due to their specific construction. Furthermore, if a fabric has undergone significant further processing like impregnation, coating, or lamination, it might fall under Chapter 59, rather than remaining in 5407 as a basic woven fabric.

Top exporters and importers of HS code 5407, 2025

In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 5407 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 67% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Vietnam, with about 14% of world imports. Taiwan did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 47% of its exports here ($631M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top exporters.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
