About wool, or fine or coarse animal hair; garnetted stock

HS code 5104 covers wool, fine animal hair, and coarse animal hair that has been garnetted, a process that breaks down and recycles textile fibers. This industry plays a crucial role in the textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of products, from high-end clothing to industrial textiles. The global demand for these materials is driven by factors such as population growth, rising living standards, and the increasing popularity of natural fibers in the fashion and home furnishings industries.

Production process

The production of garnetted stock involves several key steps. First, the raw wool or animal hair is collected and sorted by quality and fiber type. It is then subjected to the garnetting process, which uses specialized machinery to break down the fibers into a uniform, fluffy material. This process helps to remove impurities, align the fibers, and prepare the material for further processing, such as spinning, weaving, or felting.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of garnetted stock include raw wool, fine animal hair (such as cashmere or angora), and coarse animal hair (such as mohair or alpaca). Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as garnetters and fiber-processing equipment, as well as energy sources and skilled labor to operate the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of the HS code 5104 industry is the garnetted stock itself, which is then consumed by a variety of other industries, including 5105 Wool, fine or coarse animal hair, carded or combed, 5106 Yarn of carded wool, 5107 Yarn of combed wool, and 5111 Woven fabrics of carded wool or of carded fine animal hair. These industries use the garnetted stock as a key raw material in the production of a wide range of textile products, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial applications.
