About silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste, put up for retail sale; silk-worm gut
HS code 5006 covers the production and trade of silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste, which are put up for retail sale. This industry plays a vital role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing high-quality natural fibers that are in demand for their unique luster, softness, and durability. As a luxury natural fiber, silk production and trade is an important economic activity, particularly in regions known for their silk production, such as China, India, and Italy.
Production process
The production of silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste involves several key steps. First, silk cocoons are harvested and the silk fibers are extracted through a process called reeling. The silk fibers are then spun into yarn, which may involve additional processing such as twisting, plying, or dyeing. For silk waste yarn, the production process involves collecting and processing the shorter, lower-quality silk fibers that remain after the initial reeling process.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the silk yarn and silk waste yarn industry include raw silk cocoons, silk waste fibers, as well as specialized machinery for reeling, spinning, and finishing the yarn. Additionally, this industry relies on a skilled workforce, particularly in regions with a long history of silk production. Other key inputs may include dyes, lubricants, and packaging materials.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of HS code 5006 are silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste, which are then used as inputs for a variety of textile and apparel products. These yarns may be consumed by manufacturers of 5007 woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste, 6004 knitted or crocheted fabrics of a width exceeding 30 cm, containing by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, and 6214 shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like.
