About fabrics, woven; plain weave, dyed, containing less than 85% by weight of polyester staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, not exceeding 170g/m2

HS code 551321 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is widely used in the textile and apparel industries. This fabric is characterized by its plain weave structure, dyed coloration, and a blend of polyester staple fibers and cotton. With its lightweight and versatile properties, this fabric finds applications in a range of products, from clothing to home furnishings, making it an important component in the global textile supply chain.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551321 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the polyester staple fibers and cotton fibers are blended and spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven into a plain weave fabric structure. The woven fabric is then subjected to a dyeing process, which imparts the desired color. Finally, the dyed fabric is finished, often with additional treatments to enhance its properties, such as softening or wrinkle resistance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551321 include polyester staple fibers, cotton fibers, and various dyeing and finishing chemicals. Additionally, specialized weaving machinery, such as shuttleless looms, is necessary to create the plain weave fabric structure. Other supporting equipment, such as yarn preparation machines and fabric inspection systems, are also integral to the production process.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 551321 are primarily used in the manufacture of clothing, such as shirts, dresses, and blouses. They may also be used in the production of home textiles, like curtains and upholstery. These fabrics may be further processed or combined with other materials to create a wide range of textile products. Relevant downstream HS codes that may consume the output of 551321 include 620520 Men's or boys' shirts, of cotton, 620630 Women's or girls' blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses, of cotton, and 630311 (Curtains (including drapes) and interior blinds; curtains (including drapes) and bed valances, of cotton).
