About fabrics, woven; plain weave, dyed, containing less than 85% by weight of polyester staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, exceeding 170g/m2

HS code 551421 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 composition of less than 85% polyester staple fibers mixed primarily or solely with cotton. With a weight exceeding 170g/m2, this fabric finds applications in a range of products, from clothing to home furnishings, making it an important component in global trade and manufacturing supply chains.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551421 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 involving processes such as calendering or heat-setting, to achieve the required weight and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551421 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. The availability and quality of these raw materials and equipment are crucial for the efficient and consistent production of this type of fabric.

Production outputs

Fabrics classified under HS code 551421 are primarily used as inputs for the production of various textile and apparel products.
