Chapter 54 covers man-made filament yarns, including filament yarns, woven fabrics of filament yarns, and synthetic or artificial filament yarns for textile use. This chapter is divided into two main parts: yarns (headings 5401-5406) and woven fabrics (headings 5407-5408). Man-made filament yarns include synthetic fibers (such as nylon, polyester, acrylic) and artificial fibers (such as viscose, acetate). Goods of this chapter are important raw materials for the textile industry and are widely used in apparel, home textiles, and industrial textiles. Heading 5407 covers woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarns, i.e., woven fabrics made from synthetic filament yarns, whether or not finished, dyed, printed, or otherwise processed. It includes woven fabrics of nylon, polyester, acrylic, and other filament yarns. However, it does not include knitted or crocheted fabrics (Chapter 60), wadding, felt, or nonwovens (Chapter 56), or special woven fabrics (such as coated, laminated, etc., Chapter 59). Under this heading, goods are further subdivided according to fiber type, content, processing method, etc. The first 2 digits 54: indicates Chapter 54, man-made filament yarns. The 3rd-4th digits 07: indicates heading 5407, i.e., woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarns. The 5th-6th digits 44: indicates subheading 540744, specifically printed woven fabrics of nylon, containing >=85% nylon. The 5th digit 4 indicates subdivision by fiber type (nylon or other polyamides), and the 6th digit 4 indicates printed and nylon content >=85%. Therefore, the complete meaning of 540744 is: printed woven fabrics of nylon containing >=85% nylon. The goods are printed woven fabrics of nylon with nylon content >=85%, which conforms to the description of heading 5407 (woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarns). Since nylon is a synthetic filament and the content is >=85%, it is classified under subheading 540744. If the nylon content is <85%, it may be classified under 540743 (other printed woven fabrics of nylon) or other subheadings of 5407. If bleached or unbleached, it would be classified under 540741 or 540742, not 540744.

🎯 Classification Logic
Core basis for classification: 1) The goods are woven fabrics, excluding knitted or crocheted (Chapter 60); 2) The fiber component is synthetic filament, and nylon content is >=85%; 3) The processing method is printing. Therefore, classified under 540744. If nylon content is <85%, classified under 540743; if bleached, classified under 540742; if unbleached, classified under 540741. 540741 Unbleached or bleached woven fabrics of nylon: Different processing technique: 540741 is unbleached or bleached, while 540744 is printed. 540742 Dyed woven fabrics of nylon: Dyeing is overall coloring, printing is local pattern; different processes. 540743 Other printed woven fabrics of nylon: Nylon content <85%, while 540744 requires >=85%. 540710 Woven fabrics of high-tenacity yarn: 540710 is high-tenacity yarn (such as tire cord fabric), while 540744 is ordinary woven nylon fabric. 590390 Other coated woven fabrics: 590390 is coated or laminated fabric, while 540744 is uncoated. Is nylon content confirmed >=85%? Is it confirmed to be woven rather than knitted? Is the processing method printing? Are width and weight provided? Are coating or lamination excluded?

❓ FAQ
How to check the import tax rate for 540744? You can check the MFN rate, general rate, VAT, and consumption tax by entering HS code 540744 on the General Administration of Customs website, China International Trade Single Window, or third-party query platforms. Note that tax rates may be adjusted with policy changes; it is recommended to refer to the latest publication. If nylon content is exactly 85%, can it be classified under 540744? Yes, subheading 540744 requires nylon content >=85%, so 85% meets the condition. However, note that if other fibers exceed 15%, it may be classified under other subheadings. It is recommended to provide an accurate test report. How to distinguish printed woven nylon fabric from dyed woven nylon fabric? Printing forms patterns on the fabric surface by printing, while dyeing immerses the fabric in dye liquor for overall coloring. In customs classification, printing is classified under 540744, and dyeing under 540742. If both printing and dyeing exist, it is usually classified as printing. If woven nylon fabric is coated, is it still classified under 540744? If coated (such as PU coating), it is usually classified under Chapter 59 (5903 or 5907), not 540744. However, if the coating is only slight treatment and does not affect classification, it must be judged based on the nature of the coating and customs rulings. How to fill in composition content during declaration? All fiber components and percentages should be filled in, such as nylon 85%, spandex 15%. If other components are contained, they should also be listed. Content errors may lead to classification errors; it is recommended to provide a test report. What is the export tax rebate rate for 540744? The export tax rebate rate needs to be checked against the latest export tax rebate policy, usually available on the website of the State Taxation Administration or the General Administration of Customs. The rebate rate may be adjusted in different periods; it is recommended to refer to the policy at the time of declaration. How to distinguish woven nylon fabric from woven polyester fabric? Nylon (polyamide) and polyester (PET) are different synthetic fibers. They can be identified by burning method, dissolution method, or instrumental analysis. In classification, they are classified under different subheadings according to fiber type, such as nylon under 5407.4 and polyester under 5407.5. If nylon content is less than 85%, which code should it be classified under? If nylon content is <85%, but it is still a woven fabric of synthetic filament and is printed, it is classified under 540743 (other printed woven fabrics of nylon). If the main component is not nylon, it is classified under the corresponding subheading according to the main component.
