Silk-worm cocoons suitable for reeling
HS v2017 Code: 5001
About silk-worm cocoons suitable for reeling
HS code 5001 covers silk-worm cocoons that are suitable for reeling. The silk industry is a vital part of the global textile trade, with silk-producing countries playing a significant role in international commerce. Silk-worm cocoons are the raw material that kickstarts the silk production process, making this code an essential component of the broader silk industry supply chain.
Production process
The production of silk-worm cocoons suitable for reeling involves the careful cultivation and harvesting of silk-worms. Silk-worms are reared on mulberry leaves, and once they have spun their cocoons, these are carefully collected and prepared for the reeling process. This involves cleaning, drying, and sorting the cocoons to ensure they meet the necessary quality standards for use in silk production.
Production inputs
The primary inputs required for the production of silk-worm cocoons suitable for reeling are the silk-worms themselves, as well as the mulberry leaves that serve as their food source. Specialized rearing facilities, equipment, and skilled labor are also essential for the successful cultivation and harvesting of the cocoons. Additionally, the industry relies on access to suitable climatic conditions and a stable supply of water for the silk-worms.
Production outputs
The main output of HS code 5001 is silk-worm cocoons that are ready for reeling, which are then used as the raw material for the production of raw silk 5002 (Raw silk (not thrown)) and other silk-based textile products. The silk industry as a whole is closely linked to the production of 5003 Silk waste, incl. cocoons unsuitable for reeling, yarn waste and garnetted stock and 5004 (Silk yarn (other than yarn spun from silk waste)) as well.
