HS Code 5407.73 – Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic filaments (excluding nylon or other polyamides and polyesters), of yarns of different colours
HS code 5407.73 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic filaments (excluding nylon or other polyamides and polyesters), of yarns of different colours. It is used for woven acrylic filament fabric (multi-color), woven modacrylic filament fabric (yarn-dyed), woven polypropylene filament fabric (striped), woven elastomeric filament blend fabric (checkered) and woven aramid filament fabric (patterned).
What HS 5407.73 covers
This HS code encompasses woven fabrics made predominantly from synthetic filaments other than nylon, polyamides, or polyesters, and notably, are composed of yarns of different colors. This "yarns of different colors" aspect implies a woven-in pattern or mélange effect, rather than a post-dyeing or printing process. These specialized fabrics are traded internationally for niche applications where specific properties of other synthetic filaments (e.g., acrylic, modacrylic, polypropylene, elastomeric) are required, combined with aesthetic demands for multi-colored designs. Importers often include manufacturers of specialty apparel, technical textiles, and decorative fabrics in developed economies, seeking unique material properties and visual effects. Exporters are typically countries with advanced textile manufacturing capabilities that can produce these less common synthetic filament yarns and weave them into intricate patterns, such as Japan, Germany, and certain regions of China. Key trade factors include the specific synthetic fiber composition, the complexity of the weave, and the color combinations, which cater to high-performance or high-fashion segments.

Codes often confused with 5407.73
Common mistake. This code is differentiated from other synthetic filament fabrics by the exclusion of nylon/polyester and the "yarns of different colours" feature, making it distinct from single-color (5407.71) or printed (5407.74) versions of these other synthetic fabrics.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 540773, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 540773 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 29% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Vietnam, with about 14% 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 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).
