Draw Textured Yarn (DTY) is the dominant commercial form of textured polyester filament yarn and is the product most commonly traded under heading 540233. It is produced by simultaneously drawing and false-twist texturing partially oriented yarn (POY), resulting in a bulky, crimped yarn with good stretch recovery. DTY is distinct from POY and fully drawn yarn (FDY), which classify elsewhere in Chapter 54.
Single textured polyester yarn (5402333000) is typically used in lighter woven and knitted fabrics where uniformity and drape are priorities. Multiple or cabled constructions (5402336000) offer greater bulk, cover, and abrasion resistance, making them preferred for upholstery, heavy knits, and technical textiles. Buyers specify construction type in purchase orders, so the classification should align with the mill's technical data sheet.
