About fabrics, woven; of carded wool or carded fine animal hair, containing less than 85% by weight of wool or fine animal hair, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments

HS code 511120 covers a specific category of woven fabrics that are composed of carded wool or carded fine animal hair, with less than 85% of these natural fibers by weight. These fabrics are typically blended with man-made filaments, creating a unique textile material with a range of applications in the apparel and textile industries. Understanding the characteristics and production processes of these fabrics is crucial for importers, exporters, and manufacturers operating within the global textile supply chain.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 511120 involves a series of steps, starting with the carding of wool or fine animal hair fibers. These fibers are then blended with man-made filaments, such as polyester or nylon, through a process known as mixing or blending. The resulting fiber blend is then spun into yarn, which is subsequently woven into the final fabric. The weaving process can involve various techniques, including plain weave, twill, or satin, depending on the desired fabric characteristics and end-use applications.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of fabrics under HS code 511120 include carded wool or carded fine animal hair, such as cashmere or mohair, as well as man-made filaments like polyester or nylon. Additionally, specialized machinery for carding, blending, spinning, and weaving is required to manufacture these fabrics. Other inputs may include dyes, finishing agents, and various auxiliary chemicals used in the textile production process.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 511120 are primarily used in the apparel industry, where they are often incorporated into clothing items such as suits, coats, and dresses. These fabrics may also find applications in the home textile sector, where they can be used for upholstery, curtains, or other interior furnishings.
