True hemp (cannabis sativa L.), raw or processed but not spun; tow and waste of true hemp (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)
HS v2017 Code: 5302
About true hemp (cannabis sativa l.), raw or processed but not spun; tow and waste of true hemp (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)
HS code 5302 covers true hemp, a versatile natural fiber derived from the cannabis sativa plant. True hemp has a long history of use in textiles, ropes, and other industrial applications. As a renewable and biodegradable resource, true hemp plays an important role in the global fiber and textile industry, contributing to the production of a wide range of consumer and commercial products.
Production process
The production of true hemp fiber involves several key steps. First, the hemp plants are harvested and the fibers are extracted from the stems. This is typically done through a process called retting, which separates the bast fibers from the woody core of the plant. The fibers are then cleaned, sorted, and sometimes further processed to remove impurities and prepare them for spinning or other manufacturing processes.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the true hemp industry include the raw hemp plants, which are typically grown as an agricultural crop. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment are needed for the harvesting, retting, and processing of the hemp fibers. Other inputs may include water, energy sources, and various chemicals or treatments used in the fiber preparation and manufacturing stages.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the true hemp industry are the raw or processed hemp fibers, which can be used in the production of a wide range of products. These include textiles, such as clothing, upholstery, and carpets, as well as industrial materials like ropes, twine, and composite products. The hemp fibers may also be consumed by other industries, such as 5303 (Jute and other textile bast fibers, raw or processed, but not spun; tow and waste of these fibers (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)) and 5305 (Coconut, abaca (Manila hemp or Musa textilis Nee), ramie and other vegetable textile fibers, not elsewhere specified or included, raw or processed but not spun; tow, noils and waste of these fibers (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)).
