Yarn; of flax, multiple (folded) or cabled

HS v2017 Code: 530620

About yarn; of flax, multiple (folded) or cabled

HS code 530620 covers the production of yarn made from flax fibers. Flax is a versatile natural fiber that has been used for centuries in the textile industry, particularly for the manufacture of linen fabrics. The yarn described by this code is a specialized product that is often used in the production of high-quality textiles, such as clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications. This industry plays an important role in the global textile supply chain, providing a crucial raw material for a wide range of downstream industries.

Production process

The production of yarn covered by HS code 530620 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the flax fibers are harvested and processed to remove the woody parts of the plant. The fibers are then spun into yarn using specialized machinery, such as spinning frames or rotor spinning systems. The yarn may be further processed by folding or cabling, which involves twisting multiple strands of yarn together to create a stronger, more durable product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of yarn covered by HS code 530620 are flax fibers, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on various machinery and equipment, such as spinning frames, cabling machines, and finishing equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary for the production process. The industry may also require skilled labor, including spinners, weavers, and other textile workers, to operate the machinery and ensure the quality of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 530620 is yarn made from flax fibers. This yarn can be used in the production of a wide range of textile products, including 520100 (Flax, raw or processed but not spun; flax tow and waste (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)), 520300 (Flax, raw or processed but not spun; flax tow and waste (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)), and 530710 Yarn of jute or of other textile bast fibers of heading 5303. The yarn may also be used in the production of 580610 (Narrow woven fabrics, other than goods of heading 5807; narrow fabrics consisting of warp without weft assembled by means of an adhesive (bolducs)) and 580620 (Narrow woven fabrics, other than goods of heading 5807; narrow fabrics consisting of warp without weft assembled by means of an adhesive (bolducs)).
