Wool; (not carded or combed), carbonised

HS code 510130 covers carbonized wool, which is a specialized form of raw wool that has undergone a chemical treatment to remove impurities and contaminants. This type of wool is an important input for various textile manufacturing processes, particularly in the production of high-quality fabrics and garments. As a key component of the global wool industry, carbonized wool plays a crucial role in meeting the demand for sustainable and natural textile materials across a wide range of consumer and industrial applications.

The production of carbonized wool involves a multi-step process. First, raw wool is subjected to a chemical treatment, typically using sulfuric acid or other acidic solutions, to remove any organic matter, vegetable matter, or other impurities present in the raw material. This process, known as carbonization, leaves behind a clean, pure wool fiber that is then washed, dried, and prepared for further processing or spinning.

The primary input for the production of carbonized wool is, of course, raw wool. Wool fibers are typically sourced from sheep, goats, or other wool-bearing animals. In addition to the raw wool, the carbonization process requires specialized chemical solutions and equipment, such as vats, washing machines, and drying facilities. The availability of these inputs, as well as the quality and consistency of the raw wool supply, are critical factors in the successful production of carbonized wool.

The primary output of HS code 510130 is carbonized wool, which is then used as an input for a variety of textile manufacturing processes. Carbonized wool may be further processed, such as by carding or combing, before being spun into yarn or woven into fabrics. The carbonized wool produced under this code is often used in the production of high-end clothing, upholstery, and other textile products that require a clean, pure, and durable fiber. Other HS codes that may consume the output of 510130 include 510111 Wool, not carded or combed, 510121 Wool, carded or combed, and various fabric and garment manufacturing codes.
