HS code for Dyed synthetic fabric: 5407.92

Fabrics, woven, of synthetic filament yarn, dyed, n.e.c. in heading 5407.

Classification of dyed synthetic fabric under HS 5407.92

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.

Codes often confused with 5407.92

Common mistake. 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.

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).
