About yarn; (not sewing thread), single, containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic staple fibres, n.e.c. in heading no. 5509, not put up for retail sale

HS code 550941 covers a specific type of yarn made from synthetic staple fibers. This yarn is a crucial component in the textile and apparel industries, providing the raw material for the production of a wide range of fabrics and garments. As a highly versatile and widely used product, the demand for this yarn is driven by the global growth in textile manufacturing and the increasing preference for synthetic materials in various applications.

Production process

The production of yarn covered under HS code 550941 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the synthetic staple fibers, such as polyester or nylon, are spun into continuous filaments. These filaments are then twisted together to form a single yarn. The yarn may undergo additional processing, such as dyeing or finishing, to impart specific properties or characteristics required by the end-user.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of yarn under HS code 550941 include synthetic staple fibers, typically polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for spinning, twisting, and finishing the yarn. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, and water for processing and cleaning are essential inputs in this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 550941 is the single yarn made from synthetic staple fibers, containing 85% or more by weight of these fibers. This yarn is then consumed by various industries, including 550921 (Yarn; (not sewing thread), single, containing 85% or more by weight of polyester staple fibres), 550931 (Yarn; (not sewing thread), single, containing 85% or more by weight of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres), and 550951 (Yarn; (not sewing thread), single, containing 85% or more by weight of nylon or other polyamide staple fibres), which use it as a raw material for the production of fabrics, textiles, and garments.
