Polyester High-Tenacity Parachute Fabric from China

This woven fabric is made from high-tenacity polyester filament yarn, weighing under 170 g/m², designed specifically for parachutes and gliding sails. It falls under HTS 5407.10.0010 due to its high-tenacity polyester composition and lightweight specification as per chapter 54 notes for woven synthetic filament fabrics. The high strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for aerial applications.

Import Tips

• Verify high-tenacity yarn certification from supplier to confirm classification under 5407, avoiding reclassification to general polyester fabrics

• Include lab test reports for weight (≤170 g/m²) and yarn tenacity in documentation to prevent customs disputes

• Label clearly as 'high-tenacity polyester woven fabric' and avoid mixing with non-high-tenacity rolls to sidestep set classification issues
