About HS Code 540793

This HS code covers woven fabrics made predominantly of synthetic filament yarn (85% or more by weight) where the patterns or designs are created by weaving together yarns of different colors. The "n.e.c." indicates that these are not specifically covered by other, more precise subheadings within 5407. This method of coloration, known as yarn-dyeing, results in durable and often intricate patterns that are integral to the fabric's structure, rather than applied to the surface. These textiles are highly valued in fashion for creating sophisticated garments like suits, dresses, and blouses, as well as in home furnishings for decorative items such as upholstery and drapery. Major importers include countries with strong apparel manufacturing sectors and high consumer demand for patterned textiles, such as the United States, European Union nations, and Japan. Leading exporters are typically textile manufacturing powerhouses like China, India, and Italy, which have advanced weaving technologies and design capabilities. Traders need to distinguish these fabrics from printed or piece-dyed materials by verifying that the multi-color effect is achieved through the weaving of pre-colored yarns.
