HS Code 5407.54 – Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, printed
HS code 5407.54 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, containing 85% or more by weight of textured polyester filaments, printed. It is used for printed textured polyester dress fabric, floral print polyester curtain material, geometric pattern polyester upholstery, animal print textured shirting and abstract design polyester furnishing fabric.
What HS 5407.54 covers
This category encompasses woven fabrics primarily composed (85% or more) of textured polyester filaments that have been printed with designs or patterns. These fabrics combine the inherent benefits of textured polyester – such as resilience, wrinkle resistance, and a soft hand – with the added value of visual aesthetics through printing. They are extensively used in fashion apparel, decorative home textiles like drapery and upholstery, and sometimes in specialized technical applications where both durability and visual appeal are required. Countries with robust textile printing industries and strong demand for patterned fabrics, such as China, India, and Pakistan, are key exporters. Major importers include garment manufacturers in Southeast Asia (e.g., Vietnam, Indonesia) and consumer markets in Europe and North America seeking finished goods or raw materials for local production. Traders should pay close attention to print quality, colorfastness, and the specific printing technique (e.g., digital, rotary screen) as these factors significantly influence marketability and price.

Codes often confused with 5407.54

In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 540754 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 88% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United Arab Emirates, with about 10% of world imports. Vietnam 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 6.2% of its imports here ($8.1M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top importers.

World total: $1.7B Reported figures on UN Comtrade ↗
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).
