HS v2017 Code: 551090

About yarn; (not sewing thread), of artificial staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with fibres (other than wool, fine animal hair or cotton), not put up for retail sale

HS code 551090 covers a wide range of synthetic yarn products that are mixed with other non-cotton, non-wool, and non-fine animal hair fibers. These yarns are used in a variety of textile applications, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. The global trade in these synthetic yarn products is a significant component of the broader textile and apparel industry, which is a crucial sector in many national economies around the world.

Production process

The production of yarns covered under HS code 551090 typically involves the extrusion of synthetic polymer resins, such as polyester or nylon, into continuous filaments. These filaments are then cut into short staple fibers, which are subsequently carded, combed, and spun into yarn. Depending on the desired properties of the final product, the yarn may undergo additional processing steps, such as texturizing, twisting, or plying.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 551090 yarns include synthetic polymer resins, such as polyester or nylon, as well as other non-cotton, non-wool, and non-fine animal hair fibers. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, spinners, and winders, are necessary for the yarn production process. Energy, water, and various chemical additives may also be required, depending on the specific manufacturing techniques employed.

Production outputs

The yarns produced under HS code 551090 are primarily used in the manufacture of a wide range of textile products, including 520100 Woven fabrics of cotton, 540700 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, and 551219 Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, containing less than 85% by weight of such fibres, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments. These yarns may also be consumed by the production of 560311 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments: Weighing not more than 25 g/m² and 560312 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments: Weighing more than 25 g/m².
