Product classification
HS code for Bonded synthetic fabric: 5407.30
Fabrics, woven, from synthetic filament yarn, adhesive or thermal bonded.
Classification of bonded synthetic fabric under HS 5407.30
HS code 540730 specifically classifies woven fabrics made from synthetic filament yarn that have undergone an adhesive or thermal bonding process. This classification is precise, distinguishing these fabrics by both their material composition (synthetic filament yarn) and their manufacturing method (woven and subsequently bonded). The bonding process, whether through adhesives or heat, imparts specific properties such as enhanced strength, stability, or insulation, making the fabric suitable for particular applications. This code ensures that fabrics with this distinct structural characteristic are accurately categorized, differentiating them from unbonded woven synthetic fabrics or non-woven materials.

Codes often confused with 5407.30
Common mistake. Common misclassifications for bonded synthetic fabric often involve codes for similar but distinct materials. HS code 5407.10, for instance, covers woven fabrics of high tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides or of polyesters, but does not specify bonding. Fabrics classified under 5903.90, "Textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics," might be confused, but 540730 specifically refers to the bonding of the fabric structure itself, often without a distinct plastic layer, or where the bonding is integral to the fabric's formation rather than a surface treatment. Another potential misclassification is with 5603.1x, which covers nonwovens of man-made filaments; however, 540730 explicitly applies to woven fabrics, a fundamental structural difference.
Top exporters and importers of HS 540730 (the code used for bonded synthetic fabric), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 540730 (the code used for bonded synthetic fabric) in UN Comtrade data was the Netherlands, with 49% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United Kingdom, with 10% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).

Questions about bonded synthetic fabric
What is the HS code for Bonded synthetic fabric?
The HS code for Bonded synthetic fabric is 540730 (Fabrics, woven; from synthetic filament yarn, adhesive or thermal bonded). The HS code for bonded synthetic fabric is 540730. This code specifically covers woven fabrics made from synthetic filament yarn that have been adhesive or thermal bonded.
How do I classify Bonded synthetic fabric for customs?
Bonded synthetic fabric is classified under HS code 540730 — Fabrics, woven; from synthetic filament yarn, adhesive or thermal bonded. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
What distinguishes HS code 540730 from other synthetic fabric codes?
The key distinction for HS code 540730 is the "adhesive or thermal bonded" characteristic. This refers to a specific manufacturing process where layers or fibers of woven synthetic filament fabric are joined using heat or adhesive, imparting unique structural and functional properties, differentiating it from unbonded or simply coated synthetic fabrics.
Which countries are the top exporters of bonded synthetic fabric (HS 540730)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 540730 (the code used for bonded synthetic fabric) in UN Comtrade data were the Netherlands ($48M, 49% of world exports), China ($16M) and Germany ($7.5M). World exports came to about $98M, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Which countries are the top importers of bonded synthetic fabric (HS 540730)?
