About fabrics, woven; unbleached or bleached, containing 85% or more by weight of artificial staple fibres

HS code 551611 covers woven fabrics containing 85% or more by weight of artificial staple fibers, which are unbleached or bleached. These fabrics play a crucial role in the global textile and apparel industry, providing a versatile and durable material for a wide range of applications, from clothing to home furnishings. As a key component in the production of various textile products, this industry contributes significantly to the broader economy, connecting manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers across international trade networks.

Production process

The production of fabrics under HS code 551611 typically involves a multi-step process. First, artificial staple fibers are spun into yarns using specialized machinery. These yarns are then woven into a fabric using looms, which can be either mechanized or automated. The fabric may undergo additional processing, such as bleaching or dyeing, to achieve the desired appearance and characteristics. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the production process to ensure the fabric meets industry standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fabrics under HS code 551611 include artificial staple fibers, such as rayon or acetate, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the finishing process. Specialized weaving machinery, such as looms and shuttles, are also essential for the manufacturing of these woven fabrics. Additionally, skilled labor, energy, and water resources are necessary to support the production activities.

Production outputs

Fabrics produced under HS code 551611 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 finished goods. Some of the related HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 611011 (Sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, of wool or fine animal hair), 630231 Bed linen, of cotton, and 630260 Toilet linen and kitchen linen, of terry towelling or similar terry fabrics, of cotton.
