Yarn of other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn
HS v2017 Code: 5308
About yarn of other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn
HS code 5308 covers a diverse range of yarn products made from vegetable textile fibres, as well as paper yarn. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide variety of fabrics, garments, and other textile-based products. The demand for these specialized yarns is driven by factors such as consumer preferences, technological advancements, and the need for sustainable and eco-friendly textile solutions.
Production process
The production of yarns under HS code 5308 typically involves a series of processes, including fiber preparation, spinning, and finishing. Vegetable textile fibers, such as ramie, jute, and sisal, are often subjected to cleaning, sorting, and combing to align the fibers and remove impurities. These prepared fibers are then spun into yarns using various spinning techniques, such as ring spinning, open-end spinning, or specialty spinning methods. Paper yarn, on the other hand, is produced by cutting or shredding paper into thin strips and then twisting or plying them together to form a yarn-like structure.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5308 yarns include the raw vegetable textile fibers, such as 5301 Flax, 5302 True hemp, and 5303 Jute and other textile bast fibres, as well as specialized machinery for fiber preparation, spinning, and finishing. Additionally, the industry may rely on various chemicals, dyes, and other auxiliary materials to enhance the properties and appearance of the final yarn products.
Production outputs
The yarns produced under HS code 5308 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacturing of a wide range of textile products, including 5309 Woven fabrics of flax, 5310 Woven fabrics of jute or of other textile bast fibres, and 5311 Woven fabrics of other vegetable textile fibres; woven fabrics of paper yarn. These yarns may also be used in the production of home textiles, industrial textiles, and specialty applications, such as ropes, twines, and cordage.
