About fabrics, woven; of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of such fibres n.e.c. in heading no. 5512, unbleached or bleached

HS code 551291 covers woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, containing 85% or more of such fibers by weight. These fabrics are unbleached or bleached, and are not classified elsewhere under heading 5512. This industry plays a crucial role in the textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of clothing, home furnishings, and industrial products.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551291 typically involves a multi-step process. First, synthetic staple fibers are spun into yarn. The yarn is then woven into a fabric using looms. The woven fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as bleaching, to achieve the desired appearance and properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551291 include synthetic staple fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. Additionally, the industry relies on weaving machinery, dyes, and other chemicals for the finishing processes. Energy, water, and skilled labor are also important inputs.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 551291 are primarily used in the manufacture of clothing, home textiles, and industrial products. These fabrics may be further processed and combined with other materials to create a wide range of end-products, such as shirts, dresses, curtains, and upholstery. Other relevant HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 610520 Men's or boys' shirts, of cotton, 630231 Bed linen, of cotton, and 630260 Toilet linen and kitchen linen, of terry towelling or similar terry fabrics, of cotton.
