Vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn and woven fabrics of paper yarn

HS v2017 Code: 53

About vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn and woven fabrics of paper yarn

HS code 53 covers a diverse range of vegetable textile fibres, paper yarn, and woven fabrics made from paper yarn. These materials play a crucial role in the global textile and manufacturing industries, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of products. The industries encompassed by this code contribute significantly to the economy, with applications ranging from clothing and home furnishings to industrial textiles and specialty papers.

Production process

The production of vegetable textile fibres, paper yarn, and woven fabrics of paper yarn involves a series of complex processes. Vegetable fibres, such as flax, hemp, and jute, are typically harvested, retted, and then spun into yarn. Paper yarn is produced by extruding or twisting paper into a yarn-like form. Woven fabrics are created by interlacing these yarns, either mechanically or by hand, to form a durable and versatile textile material.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the industries covered by HS code 53 include the raw vegetable fibres, such as 5301 Flax, 5302 Hemp, and 5303 Jute and other textile bast fibres. Additionally, the production of paper yarn and woven fabrics requires specialized machinery, such as spinning and weaving equipment, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the finishing and processing of the materials.

Production outputs

The industries encompassed by HS code 53 produce a wide range of outputs, including vegetable textile fibres, paper yarn, and woven fabrics made from paper yarn. These materials are then consumed by various other industries, such as 54 Man-made filaments, 55 Man-made staple fibres, and 57 Carpets and other textile floor coverings, which use them as inputs for the production of clothing, home textiles, industrial applications, and specialty papers.
