HS v2017 Code: 380991

About finishing agents and dye carriers; to accelerate dyeing or fixing of dye-stuffs, other products and preparations, used in the textile industry (excluding those with a basis of amylaceous substances)

HS code 380991 covers a range of chemical products used in the textile industry to enhance the dyeing and finishing processes. These finishing agents and dye carriers play a crucial role in improving the quality, durability, and appearance of textile materials, making them an essential component of the global textile supply chain. The demand for these specialized chemicals is driven by the continuous growth of the textile industry, particularly in developing economies where manufacturing hubs are expanding.

Production process

The production of finishing agents and dye carriers classified under HS code 380991 typically involves a series of chemical synthesis and formulation processes. Manufacturers may use a variety of raw materials, including organic compounds, surfactants, and other specialty chemicals, to create customized products that meet the specific requirements of textile manufacturers. The final products are often formulated as liquids, powders, or emulsions to facilitate their application during the dyeing, printing, or finishing stages of textile production.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of finishing agents and dye carriers under HS code 380991 include a range of organic and inorganic chemicals, such as 290110 Hydrocarbons, 290531 (Ethylene glycol (ethanediol)), 340220 (Washing and cleaning preparations, including auxiliary washing preparations, containing soap or other organic surface-active agents, whether or not containing soap (excluding those of heading 3401)) and various surfactants and specialty additives. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized production equipment, such as reactors, mixers, and drying systems, to ensure consistent product quality and efficient manufacturing processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 380991 are a diverse range of finishing agents and dye carriers used in the textile industry. These products are typically consumed by textile manufacturers, who incorporate them into their dyeing, printing, and finishing operations to enhance the properties and appearance of fabrics and garments. Some of the related HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 540700 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 5404, 580100 Woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, other than fabrics of heading 5802 or 5806, and 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles.
