About woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, containing less than 85% by weight of such fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, of a weight not exceeding 170g/m2

HS code 5513 covers a wide range of woven fabrics made from synthetic staple fibers, containing less than 85% of such fibers by weight, and mixed mainly or solely with cotton. These fabrics are lightweight, typically not exceeding 170g/m2 in weight. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential materials for the production of a variety of consumer and industrial products.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 5513 involves several key steps. First, synthetic staple fibers, such as polyester or nylon, are blended with cotton fibers. The fiber blend is then spun into yarn, which is then woven or knitted into the desired fabric structure. Finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment, may be applied to impart specific properties or aesthetic qualities to the fabric.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5513 fabrics include synthetic staple fibers, cotton fibers, yarn-spinning equipment, and weaving or knitting machinery. Additionally, dyes, chemicals, and other finishing agents may be necessary to achieve the desired fabric characteristics. The availability and quality of these raw materials and production equipment are crucial for the industry's competitiveness and the production of high-quality fabrics.

Production outputs

Fabrics classified under HS code 5513 are primarily used in the production of clothing, home textiles, and industrial applications. These fabrics may be further processed and consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 5601 Wadding, felt and nonwovens; special yarns, twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof, 6001 Pile fabrics, including 'long pile' fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted, and 6002 Knitted or crocheted fabrics.
