About fabrics, woven; printed, containing less than 85% by weight of synthetic staple fibres (other than polyesters), mixed mainly or solely with cotton, exceeding 170g/m2

HS code 551449 covers a specific type of woven fabric that is printed and contains less than 85% synthetic staple fibers (excluding polyesters), primarily mixed with cotton. This fabric is commonly used in the textile and apparel industries, as it offers a unique blend of properties that make it suitable for a variety of applications. The production and trade of this fabric play a significant role in the global economy, particularly in countries with a strong textile manufacturing sector.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551449 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including cotton and synthetic fibers, are spun into yarns. These yarns are then woven into a fabric using specialized weaving machines. Once the fabric is produced, it undergoes a printing process, where patterns or designs are applied to the surface using various printing techniques, such as screen printing or digital printing. The printed fabric is then finished, which may include processes like dyeing, calendering, or heat-setting, to enhance its appearance and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551449 include cotton and synthetic staple fibers (other than polyesters), as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the printing and finishing processes. Additionally, specialized weaving and printing machinery, as well as skilled labor, are essential for the efficient and high-quality production of these fabrics.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 551449 are primarily used in the textile and apparel industries, where they are further processed into a wide range of garments and home furnishings. These fabrics may be consumed by manufacturers of clothing, upholstery, and other textile products. Other related HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 540741 (Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic filament), nc_link(540744)(Fabrics, woven; containing 85% or more by weight of synthetic filaments, printed), and nc_link(540752)(Fabrics, woven; containing less than 85% by weight of synthetic filaments, mixed mainly or solely with cotton, printed).
