About yarn; (not sewing thread), multiple (folded) or cabled yarn, of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of polyester, not put up for retail sale

HS code 550922 covers a specific type of synthetic yarn that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. This yarn, made from polyester staple fibers, is a crucial component in the production of a variety of fabrics and garments. Its importance lies in its durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, making it a popular choice for manufacturers and consumers alike.

Production process

The production of HS code 550922 yarn involves several key steps. First, polyester staple fibers are spun into individual yarn strands. These strands are then twisted or 'folded' together to create a stronger, more durable yarn. The final step involves cabling, where multiple folded yarns are twisted together to produce the final product. This process ensures the yarn's strength, uniformity, and suitability for a wide range of textile applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 550922 yarn include polyester staple fibers, which serve as the raw material. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, twisting machines, and cabling equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 550922 is the synthetic yarn itself, which is then used as a key input for the production of various 650610 Fabrics and 620300 Apparel items. This yarn is particularly well-suited for applications where durability, strength, and easy care are important, such as in the manufacturing of sportswear, workwear, and household textiles.
