HS v2017 Code: 510129

About wool; (not carded or combed), degreased, (not carbonised), (other than shorn)

HS code 510129 covers wool that has not been carded or combed, and has been degreased but not carbonized, excluding shorn wool. This type of wool is an essential raw material for the textile industry, used in the production of a wide range of woolen and worsted fabrics, as well as other wool-based products. The global trade in this commodity is significant, with major producers and exporters located in countries with thriving sheep farming industries.

Production process

The production of wool covered under HS code 510129 involves several key steps. First, the wool is sheared from the sheep, then it undergoes a degreasing process to remove natural oils and impurities. This is typically done through chemical or mechanical means. The degreased wool is then sorted, graded, and packaged for sale or further processing, without any additional carding or combing.

Production inputs

The primary input for this industry is, of course, raw wool from sheep. Producers require access to large flocks of sheep, as well as the necessary infrastructure and equipment for shearing, degreasing, and preparing the wool for market. Additionally, the industry relies on chemical agents, machinery, and skilled labor to carry out the various processing steps.

Production outputs

Wool classified under HS code 510129 is a key input for the textile manufacturing industry, particularly in the production of 520100 Cotton, 540200 Synthetic filaments, and 550100 Synthetic staple fibres. The degreased, uncombed wool is used to create a wide range of woolen and worsted fabrics, as well as other wool-based products such as carpets, blankets, and apparel.
