About fabrics, woven; of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres, unbleached or bleached

HS code 551221 covers woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, primarily acrylic or modacrylic, that contain 85% or more of these fibers by weight. These fabrics are unbleached or bleached, and they play a crucial role in the textile and apparel industries, providing a versatile and durable material for a wide range of applications.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551221 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the synthetic staple fibers, such as acrylic or modacrylic, are spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven into a fabric using various weaving techniques, such as plain weave, twill, or satin. The resulting fabric may be left unbleached or subjected to a bleaching process to remove any natural impurities or discoloration.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551221 include synthetic staple fibers, primarily acrylic or modacrylic, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the weaving and finishing processes. Additionally, specialized weaving machinery, such as looms, is essential for the production of these woven fabrics.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 551221 are primarily used in the apparel and textile industries, where they are often used for clothing, upholstery, and other textile products. These fabrics may also be consumed by 551229 Fabrics, woven; of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of acrylic or modacrylic staple fibres, dyed, printed or otherwise finished or 551239 Fabrics, woven; of synthetic staple fibres, containing less than 85% by weight of such fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, unbleached or bleached.
