HS Code 5407.53 – Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, of yarns of different colours
HS code 5407.53 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, of yarns of different colours. It is used for textured polyester suiting fabric, two-tone polyester dress material, Mélange polyester upholstery fabric, multi-color textured curtain fabric and polyester blend activewear fabric.
What HS 5407.53 covers
This HS code covers a specific niche within the textile trade: woven fabrics made predominantly (85% or more) from textured polyester filaments, where the aesthetic appeal comes from using yarns of different colors. These fabrics are highly valued for their durability, wrinkle resistance, and ability to mimic natural fibers while offering superior performance. They are frequently used in apparel, home furnishings, and technical textiles. Major importers include countries with large garment manufacturing industries or significant consumer markets for finished textile products, such as Vietnam, Bangladesh, and the United States. Exporters are typically textile powerhouses like China, India, and Taiwan, which have advanced manufacturing capabilities for synthetic fibers and weaving. Key considerations for traders include the specific blend composition, weave type, and colorfastness, as these impact the fabric's end-use and market value. The textured nature provides bulk and a softer hand feel, making them versatile for various applications.

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).
