About HS Code 540810
This HS code covers woven fabrics made from high tenacity viscose rayon artificial filament yarn. Similar to the high tenacity yarn itself, these fabrics are engineered for exceptional strength, resilience, and dimensional stability, making them indispensable in demanding industrial and technical textile applications. Their primary uses include reinforcement materials for tires, conveyor belts, hoses, and specialized protective clothing where high performance under stress is critical. Importers are typically specialized manufacturers in the automotive, industrial, and safety sectors, who require fabrics that can withstand extreme conditions. Exporters are technical textile mills with expertise in weaving high-performance artificial filaments. The 'high tenacity' attribute is the defining characteristic, setting these fabrics apart from standard rayon weaves.
Products Under This Code
High-tenacity rayon industrial fabric, Viscose rayon tire cord fabric, Conveyor belt fabric (rayon), Protective apparel rayon fabric, Heavy-duty lining fabric, Technical rayon woven fabric, Reinforcement fabric
Real World Examples
Fabrics for tire reinforcement (e.g., Continental, Michelin suppliers), Industrial belting fabrics (e.g., Fenner, Habasit suppliers), Protective workwear fabrics (e.g., for fire-resistant linings)
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with 540821 (other woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, unbleached) if the 'high tenacity' and 'viscose rayon' specifics are overlooked, or with other industrial fabrics from chapters like 59.
Products Classified Under 5408.10
Industry
This code belongs to the Textiles & Clothing industry.
Trade Overview
Germany, Austria, and China are key producers of these specialized fabrics, supplying industries requiring high-performance textiles globally.
