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

HS code 551323 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is dyed and contains less than 85% polyester staple fibers, with the remainder being primarily or solely cotton. This fabric is lightweight, not exceeding 170g/m2, and is an important input for various textile and apparel manufacturing industries. Understanding the characteristics and production of this fabric is crucial for businesses involved in the import, export, or domestic trade of textile materials.

Production process

The production of the fabric described by HS code 551323 involves several key steps. First, the polyester staple fibers and cotton fibers are blended and spun into yarn. The yarn is then woven into a fabric using either a shuttle loom or a shuttleless loom, such as a projectile, rapier, or air-jet loom. The woven fabric is then dyed using various dyeing techniques, such as continuous dyeing or batch dyeing, to achieve the desired color. Finally, the dyed fabric is finished, which may include processes like calendering, sanforizing, or heat-setting, to improve its appearance and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the fabric described by HS code 551323 include polyester staple fibers, cotton fibers, and various chemicals and dyes used in the dyeing and finishing processes. Additionally, specialized weaving machinery, such as looms, and finishing equipment, such as calenders and sanforizing machines, are essential for the manufacturing of this fabric.

Production outputs

The fabric produced under HS code 551323 is primarily used as an input for the manufacture of various textile and apparel products, such as 620520 Men's or boys' shirts, of cotton, 620630 Women's or girls' blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses, of cotton, and 630231 Bed linen, of cotton. This lightweight, dyed fabric can also be used in the production of home textiles, such as curtains and upholstery.
