HS Code 5407.61 – Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of non-textured polyester filaments
HS code 5407.61 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, containing 85% or more by weight of non-textured polyester filaments. It is used for polyester satin lining fabric, plain weave polyester shirting, polyester taffeta, polyester flag material and smooth polyester dress fabric.
What HS 5407.61 covers
This HS code covers woven fabrics made predominantly (85% or more) from non-textured polyester filaments. Unlike their textured counterparts, these fabrics typically have a smoother, often shinier surface and a more consistent drape. They are highly valued for their strength, resistance to shrinking and stretching, and ease of care, making them a staple in various industries. These fabrics are widely used in linings for garments, lightweight apparel, flags, banners, and certain industrial applications. Major exporters are countries with large-scale synthetic fiber production and weaving capabilities, such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea. Importers include garment manufacturers worldwide, particularly in countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Turkey, which process these fabrics into finished goods, as well as markets requiring bulk fabric for industrial or decorative uses. Key trading considerations include fabric weight, weave type (e.g., plain, twill, satin), and specific finishes applied, as these dictate the fabric's suitability for different end-uses.

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).
