HS Code 5407.74 – Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic filaments (excluding nylon or other polyamides and polyesters), printed
HS code 5407.74 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic filaments (excluding nylon or other polyamides and polyesters), printed. It is used for printed acrylic filament fabric, printed modacrylic filament fabric, printed polypropylene filament fabric, printed elastomeric blend fabric and printed aramid filament fabric.
What HS 5407.74 covers
This HS code covers woven fabrics predominantly made from synthetic filaments other than nylon, polyamides, or polyesters, and specifically, these fabrics are printed. This category includes fabrics made from fibers like acrylic, modacrylic, polypropylene, or elastomeric filaments, which are then adorned with various printed designs. These fabrics are traded globally for their unique combination of the base fiber's properties (e.g., warmth, chemical resistance, stretch) and the aesthetic appeal of printing. Importers are typically manufacturers of specialized apparel (e.g., outdoor wear, protective clothing), home furnishings, and technical textiles, particularly in markets demanding both performance and visual design. Exporters often come from countries with advanced printing technologies and diverse synthetic fiber production, such as China, South Korea, and Italy. Key trade considerations include the type of synthetic filament, the printing method (e.g., digital, rotary screen), the complexity and durability of the print, and the fabric's overall finish, catering to niche markets requiring specific functional and decorative attributes.

Codes often confused with 5407.74
Common mistake. This code is distinguished from other synthetic filament fabrics by the exclusion of nylon/polyester and the "printed" characteristic, making it different from unprinted (5407.71, 5407.72) or yarn-dyed (5407.73) versions of these other synthetic fabrics.

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).
