BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Classification and product features

CN code 540752 covers woven fabrics of polyester yarn, dyed, containing 85 percent or more by weight of polyester fibres. Dyeing of polyester fabric is most commonly performed using dispersion dyeing at temperatures above 130 degrees Celsius under pressure, ensuring deep dye penetration into the fibre structure. These fabrics find application in apparel, linings, decorative materials, and technical textiles. Classification requires confirmation that polyester content is at least 85 percent by weight and that the fabric is dyed rather than printed or woven from coloured yarn.

REACH requirements and chemical safety

Dyed polyester fabrics must comply with REACH regarding restricted substances. Disperse dyes used in polyester dyeing may contain allergenic substances listed in Annex XVII. Particular attention must be paid to azo dyes releasing carcinogenic aromatic amines. The importer must hold laboratory test results confirming compliance with REACH limits. Regulation EU 1007/2011 requires fibre composition labelling. GPSR imposes product safety and traceability obligations. Colour fastness tests for washing, rubbing, and perspiration may be required in commercial relationships.

Import and trade in polyester fabrics

The customs declaration under CN code 540752 should include raw material composition, area weight, weave, width, and colour. Importers should check TARIC for current duty rates and anti-dumping measures on polyester fabrics. Anti-dumping duties on dyed polyester fabrics from certain Asian countries may significantly impact import costs. Preferential rates are available under FTA agreements with double transformation origin rules.

Importing synthetic woven fabrics - duties CN 5407 52

Synthetic woven fabrics CN 5407 52 are classified by polymer type (nylon, polyester), treatment (unbleached, dyed, printed), and composition. Import into the EU is subject to conventional customs duty and import VAT. Fibre composition labelling under EU 1007/2011 is mandatory. Average duty rates are several percent.

Frequently asked questions

Do anti-dumping duties apply to dyed polyester fabrics from China?
Imports of polyester fabrics from certain countries may be subject to trade defence measures. Current information should be checked in TARIC by entering CN code 540752 and country of origin. Anti-dumping duties can significantly increase import costs and should be factored into commercial calculations.
What dye testing is required for import?
Testing for azo dyes releasing carcinogenic aromatic amines according to EN 14362 is required. For disperse dyes used in polyester, additional testing for allergenic substances may be required. The importer should obtain test results from the manufacturer or commission independent testing.
What is the difference between piece-dyeing and printing?
Piece-dyeing gives the fabric uniform colour across the entire surface and throughout the material thickness. Printing involves applying a pattern to one side of the fabric. Dyed fabrics are classified under code 540752, while printed fabrics under code 540754. The difference is visible macroscopically.
What is the EU duty on dyed polyester woven fabric CN 5407 52?
Dyed polyester woven fabric under CN 5407 52 is subject to conventional EU customs duty and import VAT. Check the rate in TARIC. Fibre composition labelling per EU 1007/2011 is mandatory.
