About fabrics, woven; 3-thread or 4-thread twill, of polyester staple fibres, containing less than 85% by weight of such, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, not exceeding 170g/m2, unbleached or bleached

HS code 551312 covers a specific type of woven fabric made from polyester staple fibers and cotton. This fabric is characterized by a 3-thread or 4-thread twill weave and a weight not exceeding 170g/m2. It is commonly used in the production of various textile products, including clothing, upholstery, and industrial applications. As a versatile and widely-used material, this fabric plays a significant role in the global textile and apparel industry.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551312 typically involves a multi-step process. First, polyester staple fibers and cotton fibers are blended and spun into yarn. The yarns are then woven into a 3-thread or 4-thread twill fabric structure. The fabric is then finished, which may include processes such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment, depending on the desired end-use characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551312 include polyester staple fibers, cotton fibers, and weaving machinery. The polyester and cotton fibers are the primary raw materials, while the weaving machinery, such as looms, is essential for the fabric production process. Additionally, various chemicals and dyes may be used in the finishing stages to achieve the desired fabric properties.

Production outputs

Fabrics classified under HS code 551312 are primarily used in the production of clothing, such as shirts, dresses, and trousers. They may also be used in the manufacture of upholstery, curtains, and other home textile products. The output of this industry can be consumed by various downstream industries, including 611200 Knitted or crocheted clothing and accessories, 630210 Bed linen, woven, and 940410 Mattress supports; mattresses, among others.
