About yarn of fine animal hair (carded or combed), not put up for retail sale
HS code 5108 covers the classification of yarn made from fine animal hair, such as cashmere or angora, that has been carded or combed but not put up for retail sale. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing high-quality raw materials for the production of luxury fabrics and garments. The demand for these fine animal hair yarns is driven by the growing consumer preference for premium, natural fibers in the fashion and home textile industries.
Production process
The production of HS 5108 yarns typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw fine animal hair is collected and sorted by quality and fiber length. The hair is then carded, a process that aligns and cleans the fibers, and subsequently combed to remove any remaining impurities and create a smooth, uniform yarn. Finally, the carded and combed fibers are spun into yarn, which can then be used in the manufacture of a variety of textile products.
Production inputs
The primary input for the HS 5108 industry is the fine animal hair itself, such as cashmere, angora, or vicuña. These raw materials are typically sourced from specialized farms or suppliers that specialize in the production and processing of these premium fibers. In addition to the animal hair, the industry also requires specialized machinery for carding, combing, and spinning the yarn, as well as various chemicals and dyes for the finishing and treatment of the final product.
Production outputs
The main output of the HS 5108 industry is the carded or combed yarn made from fine animal hair. These yarns are then consumed by the 5111 Woven fabrics of carded wool or of carded fine animal hair and 5112 Woven fabrics of combed wool or of combed fine animal hair industries, which use them to produce high-end fabrics for luxury clothing, accessories, and home textiles. The HS 5108 yarns may also be used in the production of 5113 Woven fabrics of coarse animal hair or of horsehair.
