HS code 510330 covers the trade and processing of wool and coarse animal hair waste, a critical input for various textile and manufacturing industries. This waste material, which includes yarn waste, is an important byproduct of the 510111 Greasy wool, including fleece-washed wool and 510121 Degreased wool, not carbonized industries. The efficient management and utilization of this waste stream contributes to the sustainability and circularity of the broader wool and textile supply chain.

The main production technique for HS code 510330 involves the collection, sorting, and processing of wool and coarse animal hair waste. This typically includes the separation of different fiber types, the removal of contaminants, and the preparation of the waste material for further use as a raw material in other industries. Advanced processing methods may also involve techniques like carding, combing, or blending to improve the quality and consistency of the waste product.

The primary inputs for the industry covered by HS code 510330 are the waste materials generated from wool and coarse animal hair processing, such as shearing, scouring, and yarn production. This can include short fibers, dust, and other byproducts that are not suitable for direct use in textile manufacturing. In addition, the industry may require specialized equipment and machinery for the collection, sorting, and processing of the waste materials.

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 510330 are the processed wool and coarse animal hair waste products, which can be used as raw materials in various industries. These include 540700 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, 560311 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments: Weighing not more than 25 g/m², and 570110 Carpets and other textile floor coverings, knotted, whether or not made up: Of wool or fine animal hair.
