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

HS code 511230 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is composed of combed wool or combed fine animal hair, with less than 85% of these natural fibers by weight. The remaining composition is primarily man-made staple fibers. This fabric type is an important input for various textile and apparel industries, serving as a versatile material with unique properties that cater to a range of applications and consumer preferences.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 511230 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the natural fibers (wool or fine animal hair) are combed to align and straighten the fibers, improving their quality and consistency. These combed natural fibers are then blended with man-made staple fibers, such as polyester or nylon, in the desired proportions. The blended fibers are then spun into yarns, which are subsequently woven into the final fabric using specialized weaving machinery.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 511230 include combed wool or combed fine animal hair, man-made staple fibers (such as polyester or nylon), and specialized weaving equipment. Additionally, dyes, finishing chemicals, and other auxiliary materials may be used to impart desired properties and aesthetics to the final fabric.
