About wadding of textile materials and articles thereof; textile fibres, not exceeding 5 mm in length (flock), textile dust and mill neps

HS code 5601 covers a diverse range of textile materials and products, including wadding, short textile fibers, and various types of textile waste. These materials play a crucial role in the textile industry, serving as essential inputs for a wide array of manufacturing processes and end-products. The global market for 5601 products is substantial, driven by the continuous demand for textiles and the need to effectively utilize textile byproducts and waste.

Production process

The production of 5601 materials typically involves mechanical processing techniques such as carding, combing, and cutting. Wadding is often created by layering and compacting textile fibers, while short fibers and textile dust are generated as byproducts of various textile manufacturing operations. These materials may undergo further processing, such as cleaning, sorting, and compaction, to meet the specific requirements of downstream industries.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the 5601 industry include a diverse range of natural and synthetic textile fibers, such as cotton, wool, polyester, and nylon. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the mechanical processing of these materials. Energy, water, and various chemical treatments may also be required, depending on the specific production processes and end-use applications.

Production outputs

The outputs of the 5601 industry are primarily used as inputs for other textile-related industries. The wadding, short fibers, and textile waste can be utilized in the production of 5602 Felt, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, 5603 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, and 5604 Rubber thread and cord, textile covered; textile yarn, and strip and the like of heading 5404 or 5405, impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics, among other textile products. These materials may also find applications in the automotive, construction, and filtration industries.
