Yarn; of coir

HS code 530810 covers the trade of yarn made from coir, a natural fiber extracted from the husk of coconuts. Coir yarn is a versatile and durable material with a wide range of applications, making it an important commodity in the global textile and manufacturing industries. As a renewable and biodegradable resource, coir yarn production plays a significant role in the circular economy, contributing to sustainable development across various sectors.

The production of coir yarn involves several key steps. First, the coconut husks are harvested and soaked in water to soften the fibers. The fibers are then extracted, cleaned, and sorted by length and thickness. Next, the fibers are spun into yarn using traditional or modern spinning techniques, such as hand-spinning or machine-spinning. The resulting coir yarn can be further processed, such as by dyeing or twisting, to meet specific customer requirements.

The primary input for the production of coir yarn is the raw coconut husk, which is a byproduct of the coconut industry. Other key inputs include water for fiber extraction, spinning equipment (e.g., spinning wheels, spindles), and any additional processing equipment or materials (e.g., dyes, twisting machines). The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the overall production and quality of coir yarn.

Coir yarn produced under HS code 530810 is a versatile material with a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in the manufacture of 570500 Carpets and other textile floor coverings, 940190 Furniture; parts, and 560311 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated. The yarn may also be used in the production of 570500 Mats and matting, 940190 Brushes, and 940190 Upholstery.
