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

HS code 551331 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, containing less than 85% polyester staple fibers mixed primarily or solely with cotton. With a weight not exceeding 170g/m2, this fabric is versatile and suitable for a range of applications, from clothing to home furnishings. As a key component in the global textile supply chain, the production and trade of this fabric play a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the fabric described by HS code 551331 involves several key steps. First, the polyester staple fibers and cotton fibers are blended and spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven using a plain weave technique, which creates a simple, uniform pattern. The fabric is then finished, which may include processes such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment, to achieve the desired characteristics and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the fabric under HS code 551331 include polyester staple fibers, cotton fibers, and weaving machinery. The polyester and cotton fibers are the primary raw materials, and the weaving machinery is essential for transforming the yarns into the final woven fabric. Additionally, various chemicals and dyes may be used in the finishing process to impart specific properties or aesthetic qualities to the fabric.

Production outputs

The fabric produced under HS code 551331 is primarily used in the manufacture of clothing, such as shirts, dresses, and blouses.
