HS Code 5407.94 – Fabrics, woven; of synthetic filament yarn, printed, n.e.c. in heading no. 5407
HS code 5407.94 is the 6-digit subheading for fabrics, woven, of synthetic filament yarn, printed, n.e.c. in heading no. 5407. It is used for printed polyester dress fabric, floral pattern synthetic chiffon, geometric print nylon fabric, digital print synthetic satin and animal print polyester georgette.
What HS 5407.94 covers
This HS code pertains to woven fabrics made predominantly of synthetic filament yarn (85% or more by weight) that have been printed with patterns or designs. The "n.e.c." clause means these are general printed synthetic filament fabrics not covered by more specific subheadings. Printing allows for immense design flexibility, enabling the creation of intricate, multi-colored, or photographic patterns on the fabric surface after it has been woven. These fabrics are extensively used in the fashion industry for dresses, blouses, and scarves, as well as in home decor for curtains, bedding, and decorative cushions. They offer a cost-effective way to produce a wide variety of aesthetic effects. Major importers include countries with large garment manufacturing industries that then export finished apparel, such as Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Turkey, alongside significant consumer markets like the United States and the European Union. Leading exporters are typically textile manufacturing hubs with advanced printing technologies, including China, South Korea, and Taiwan. Traders must ensure the fabric's pattern is indeed printed and not created by weaving different colored yarns or by dyeing the entire fabric a single color.

Codes often confused with 5407.94
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 540793 (of yarns of different colours) if the pattern is mistaken for a woven design, or 540792 (dyed) if the fabric is a solid color that was printed rather than piece-dyed (though this is less common). The key is the surface application of a design.

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).
