HS Code for Dyed synthetic fabric
Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn are classified under HS code 5407.92 when they do not meet the specific criteria of other subheadings within the 5407 group. This code serves as a residual category for dyed fabrics made from synthetic filaments, such as nylon, polyester, or acrylic, provided they are not categorized by more specific descriptions like high-tenacity yarn or specific weave types like plain weave of a certain weight. The classification depends on the fabric being "woven" and the primary material being "synthetic filament yarn." Filament yarns are continuous strands, which differentiates them from the staple fibers found in chapter 55. The "dyed" specification requires the fabric to have been colored, distinguishing it from unbleached, bleached, or printed fabrics. This code is often used for technical textiles or fashion fabrics that utilize mixed filament types or unique weaving patterns that fall outside the more rigid definitions of the preceding subheadings in heading 5407.

Common Misclassification
This code is often confused with 5407.42, which is specific to fabrics of high tenacity filament yarn of nylon or other polyamides. It is also confused with 5407.52, which is dedicated to fabrics of textured polyester filaments. Importers must ensure the filament type is not specifically named in subheadings 5407.10 through 5407.84 before using the residual 5407.92 classification. Misidentifying textured yarn as non-textured is a common cause of error.
