Chapter 54 covers man-made filaments, including synthetic filaments and artificial filaments. This chapter is divided into two main heading groups: 5401-5406 are filament yarns (including sewing thread, high tenacity yarn, textured yarn, etc.), and 5407-5408 are woven fabrics of man-made filaments. Goods in this chapter are mainly made from man-made filaments, distinguished from Chapter 55 man-made staple fibers. Heading 5407 covers woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including plain weave, twill weave, satin weave and other fabrics made from synthetic filament yarn, as well as laminated fabrics of parallel yarn. Under this heading, further subdivision is made according to yarn type, density, whether bleached, dyed, etc. Code 540730 is a six-digit subheading. The first 2 digits 54 = Chapter 54 (man-made filaments); digits 3-4 07 = Heading 5407 (woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn); digits 5-6 30 = Subheading 540730, specifically referring to "woven fabrics of parallel yarn laminated", i.e., fabrics formed by bonding or laminating parallel-arranged synthetic filament yarns, distinguished from ordinary warp-weft interwoven woven fabrics. This product is made by laminating parallel yarns, not traditional warp-weft interweaving, but it falls within the scope of woven fabrics of synthetic filament, so it is classified under 5407. Its parallel yarn laminated structure differs from other subheadings of 5407 (such as plain weave, twill fabrics), and also differs from 5408 (woven fabrics of artificial filament) or Chapter 55 staple fiber fabrics.

Product Name: The standard name of the declared goods, which should accurately reflect the product attributes, such as "woven fabrics of parallel yarn laminated". Material: State the fiber composition and content, such as "100% polyester filament" or "70% nylon filament + 30% spandex". Weaving Method: Describe the fabric formation method, such as "parallel yarn lamination" or "parallel yarn bonding". Yarn Type: Indicate the type of yarn used, such as "synthetic filament yarn" or "textured yarn". Density: Provide the yarn density in warp and weft directions (threads/10cm), or mass per unit area (g/m²). Width: Declare the fabric width (centimeters), which affects classification and tariff rates. Processing and Finishing: State whether bleached, dyed, printed, coated or other finishing conditions. Product Name: Woven fabrics of parallel yarn laminated; Material: 100% polyester filament; Weaving Method: Parallel yarn lamination; Yarn Type: Synthetic filament; Density: warp 120 threads/10cm, weft 80 threads/10cm; Width: 150cm; Processing and Finishing: Dyed; Use: Garment interlining. Incorrectly classifying parallel yarn laminated fabrics under other subheadings of 5407, such as 540710 (fabrics of high tenacity yarn). Failing to accurately describe the lamination process, leading to misidentification as ordinary woven fabric. Neglecting to declare yarn density and width, affecting customs valuation and classification.

The core basis for classification is the Chapter 54 notes and subheading provisions of the Import and Export Tariff. 540730 specifically refers to woven fabrics of parallel yarn laminated, whose key feature is that yarns are arranged in parallel and bonded or laminated, rather than warp-weft interwoven. It needs to be comprehensively determined based on material (synthetic filament), weaving method (parallel lamination) and processing state. 540710 Woven fabrics of high tenacity yarn: 540710 is woven fabrics of high tenacity yarn (such as aramid, high-strength polyester), emphasizing yarn strength, while 540730 emphasizes parallel laminated structure. 540720 Woven fabrics of strip and the like: 540720 is woven fabrics of synthetic fiber strip or the like, with different raw material form, and is not parallel laminated. 540740 Other woven fabrics, containing cotton: 540740 is woven fabrics of synthetic filament containing cotton, while 540730 does not contain cotton and is parallel laminated. 540760 Other woven fabrics, containing artificial fibers: 540760 is woven fabrics of artificial filament, while 540730 is synthetic filament, and the structure is different. 5603 Nonwovens: 5603 is nonwovens, made by bonding or entangling fibers, while 540730 is parallel yarn lamination, with yarn structure. Is it composed of synthetic filament yarn? Does it use parallel yarn lamination process? Is it non-warp-weft interwoven? Is it not blended with other materials? Does it fall within the scope of woven fabrics?

How to inquire about the tariff rate of 540730? You can check through the General Administration of Customs website or the Import and Export Tariff by entering code 540730 to view the MFN rate, general rate, etc. Tariff rates may be adjusted with policy, and it is recommended to refer to the latest tariff. What is the difference in classification between woven fabrics of parallel yarn laminated and ordinary woven fabrics? Ordinary woven fabrics are classified according to warp-weft interweaving, while woven fabrics of parallel yarn laminated have yarns arranged in parallel, bonded or laminated, and are classified under 540730. If it is ordinary woven, it may be classified under other subheadings of 5407. How to describe "parallel yarn lamination" when declaring? It should clearly state "parallel yarn lamination" or "parallel yarn bonding", and explain the lamination process, such as thermal bonding, adhesive bonding, etc., avoiding vague terms such as "composite". Does 540730 apply to all synthetic filaments? Yes, but it must be synthetic filament, such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, etc. Artificial filament should be classified under 5408, and staple fiber under Chapter 55. If the fabric contains a small amount of cotton, can it be classified under 540730? No. 540730 requires pure synthetic filament. If it contains cotton, it should be classified under 540740 or other corresponding subheadings according to the main component. Does 540730 include coated fabrics? If the coating does not change the basic characteristics of the fabric, it is still classified under 540730; if the coating becomes the main characteristic, it may be classified under 5903 or other coated fabric headings. How to distinguish 540730 from 5603 nonwovens? 540730 is laminated from parallel yarns, with visible and continuous yarns; 5603 is directly bonded from fibers, without yarn structure. They can be distinguished by observation under a microscope. What documents are required for importing 540730? Generally, contracts, invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, etc. are required. If anti-dumping or quota is involved, corresponding certificates are also needed. It is recommended to consult a customs broker.
