About yarn; (not sewing thread), multiple (folded) or cabled yarn, 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 550942 covers a specific type of yarn that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. This yarn is composed of 85% or more synthetic staple fibers, and is produced through a process of multiple folding or cabling. It is an essential component in the manufacturing of a variety of textile products, from clothing to home furnishings, and plays a crucial role in the global supply chain for these industries.

Production process

The production of yarn under HS code 550942 typically involves several key steps. First, the synthetic staple fibers, such as polyester or nylon, are spun into individual yarn strands. These strands are then either folded or cabled together to create a stronger, more durable yarn. The folding or cabling process can involve multiple stages to achieve the desired thickness and characteristics of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of yarn under HS code 550942 include synthetic staple fibers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for spinning, folding, and cabling the yarn. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production equipment, and skilled labor is required to operate the machinery and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 550942 is the yarn itself, which is then used as a raw material in the production of a wide range of textile products. This yarn may be consumed by manufacturers of 650300 Fabrics, woven, of man-made textile materials, 630231 Bed linen, of man-made fibres, or 620342 Men's or boys' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts, of synthetic fibres.
