About wool; (other than shorn), greasy (including fleece-washed wool), not carded or combed

HS code 510119 covers greasy wool, which is an essential raw material for the textile industry. Wool is a natural fiber derived from sheep and other wool-bearing animals, and it has been a staple in clothing and textile production for centuries. The greasy wool described by this code is a crucial input for the manufacture of a wide range of woolen products, from high-end apparel to industrial textiles, making it an important component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of greasy wool involves the shearing of wool-bearing animals, typically sheep. The fleece is then sorted, cleaned, and graded based on factors such as fiber length, crimp, and color. The greasy wool is then packaged and transported to textile mills, where it undergoes further processing, such as scouring, carding, and spinning, to create yarn and other woolen products.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of greasy wool is the wool-bearing animals themselves, typically sheep. Other key inputs include shearing equipment, sorting and cleaning facilities, and transportation infrastructure to move the raw material to textile manufacturers. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, both for the shearing and initial processing of the wool.
