HS Code 5407.30 – Fabrics, woven; from synthetic filament yarn, adhesive or thermal bonded
HS code 5407.30 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, from synthetic filament yarn, adhesive or thermal bonded. It is used for thermal-bonded polyester interlining fabric, adhesive-bonded nylon automotive fabric, fused synthetic lining material, stabilized woven polyester for industrial filters and bonded synthetic fabric for luggage.
What HS 5407.30 covers
This category specifically covers woven fabrics made from synthetic filament yarns that have undergone an adhesive or thermal bonding process. This bonding technique enhances the fabric's stability, prevents fraying, and can impart specific properties like stiffness, water resistance, or improved drape, without necessarily being a coating that changes the fabric's fundamental character. International trade in these specialized fabrics serves industries requiring durable, often non-fraying, and dimensionally stable textiles, such as automotive interiors, interlinings for apparel, and technical textiles. Importers are typically manufacturers in developed economies seeking advanced material solutions, while exporters are countries with sophisticated textile finishing capabilities, including China, South Korea, and Japan. Key factors for traders include the type of bonding agent, the degree of bonding, the base synthetic filament yarn (e.g., polyester, nylon), and the intended application, which dictates performance requirements. The market is driven by innovation in textile engineering and the demand for functional fabrics with enhanced properties.

Codes often confused with 5407.30
Common mistake. This code can be confused with non-woven bonded fabrics in Chapter 56 or with coated/laminated fabrics in Chapter 59 if the bonding is extensive enough to be considered a coating or lamination.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 540730, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 540730 in UN Comtrade data was the Netherlands, with 49% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United Kingdom, with 10% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
