About yarn; metallised, whether or not gimped, of textile yarn, or strip or the like of heading no. 5404 or 5405, combined with metal in the form of thread, strip or powder or covered with metal

HS code 5605 covers a specialized category of yarn that combines textile fibers with metal. This type of metallic yarn is widely used in the textile and apparel industries, adding unique visual and functional properties to fabrics. As a key input for high-value products, the 5605 industry plays an important role in supporting various manufacturing sectors and contributing to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of HS 5605 metallic yarn typically involves combining textile fibers, such as cotton, polyester, or silk, with metal in the form of thread, strip, or powder. This is achieved through specialized spinning and weaving techniques that allow the metal component to be integrated into the yarn structure. The metal can be wrapped around the textile fiber, or the two materials can be twisted or woven together to create a unique visual effect and enhanced properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 5605 metallic yarn include textile fibers, such as 5201 Cotton, 5402 Synthetic filament yarn, or 5003 Silk, as well as various metal components, including thread, strip, or powder. Specialized machinery, such as metallic yarn spinning and weaving equipment, is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the HS 5605 industry is metallic yarn, which is then consumed by various textile and apparel manufacturers. This yarn can be used to create a wide range of products, including 5801 Woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, 5806 Narrow woven fabrics, and 5809 Woven fabrics of metal thread and woven fabrics of metallized yarn.
