Yarn (other than sewing thread) of artificial staple fibres, not put up for retail sale

HS v2017 Code: 5510

About yarn (other than sewing thread) of artificial staple fibres, not put up for retail sale

HS code 5510 covers the production and trade of yarn made from artificial staple fibers, excluding sewing thread. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of fabrics and garments. The demand for artificial fiber yarns is driven by their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness compared to natural fibers, making them a popular choice for both commercial and consumer applications.

Production process

The production of artificial staple fiber yarn (HS 5510) typically involves several key steps. First, the artificial staple fibers, such as rayon, acetate, or polyester, are spun into continuous filaments. These filaments are then cut into shorter, uniform lengths to create the staple fibers. The staple fibers are then processed through a series of steps, including carding, drawing, and spinning, to produce the final yarn. The specific techniques and machinery used may vary depending on the type of artificial fiber and the desired yarn characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of artificial staple fiber yarn (HS 5510) include the artificial staple fibers themselves, which are typically made from materials like viscose, acetate, or polyester. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, winders, and other textile processing equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production facilities. Finally, skilled labor, including textile technicians and machine operators, is necessary to ensure the efficient and high-quality manufacturing of these yarns.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 5510 is yarn made from artificial staple fibers, which is then used as a raw material by various other industries. These yarns are commonly consumed by the 5515 Woven fabrics of artificial staple fibres and 6006 Knitted or crocheted fabrics industries, where they are woven or knitted into a wide range of fabrics for clothing, home textiles, and industrial applications. Additionally, the yarns produced under HS 5510 may also be used in the manufacture of 5607 Twine, cordage, ropes and cables and other related products.
