HS Code 5407.93 – Fabrics, woven; of synthetic filament yarn, of yarns of different colours, n.e.c. in heading no. 5407
HS code 5407.93 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, of synthetic filament yarn, of yarns of different colours, n.e.c. in heading no. 5407. It is used for yarn-dyed polyester suiting fabric, striped synthetic shirting, checkered nylon fabric, jacquard weave synthetic upholstery and dobby weave synthetic dress material.
What HS 5407.93 covers
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.

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).
