About fabrics, woven; 3- or 4-thread twill, including cross twill, unbleached or bleached, containing less than 85% by weight of polyester staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, over 170g/m2
HS code 551412 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is widely used in various textile and apparel applications. This fabric, characterized by its 3- or 4-thread twill weave structure, is a significant component of the global textile industry, providing a durable and versatile material for a range of products. Its importance extends across multiple sectors, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial applications, making it a crucial element in the broader economy.
Production process
The production of fabrics under HS code 551412 involves a series of well-established textile manufacturing techniques. The primary process is weaving, where warp and weft yarns are interlaced to create the desired twill pattern. This weaving process is typically carried out on high-speed looms, ensuring efficient and consistent fabric production. The fabrics may also undergo additional finishing steps, such as bleaching or dyeing, to achieve the desired appearance and properties.
Production inputs
The key inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551412 include cotton and polyester staple fibers, which are the primary raw materials. These fibers are spun into yarns, which are then woven into the final fabric. Additionally, the production process requires specialized weaving machinery, such as shuttleless looms, as well as various chemicals and auxiliaries used in the finishing stages.
Production outputs
Fabrics classified under HS code 551412 are primarily used in the manufacture of a wide range of textile products, including clothing, home textiles, and industrial applications. These fabrics may be further processed or combined with other materials to create garments, upholstery, and other textile-based goods. Other HS codes that may consume the output of 551412 include 620520 Men's or boys' shirts, of cotton, 630231 Bed linen, of cotton, and 630260 Toilet linen and kitchen linen, of terry towelling or similar terry fabrics, of cotton.
