Yarn and strip and the like of heading no. 5404 or 5405; gimped, (other than those of heading no. 5406 and gimped horsehair yarn); chenille yarn (including flock chenille yarn); loop wale-yarn

HS code 560600 covers a diverse range of textile products, including yarn, strip, gimped yarn, chenille yarn, and loop wale-yarn. These materials are essential inputs for a wide variety of industries, from apparel and home furnishings to industrial applications. The global market for these products is substantial, driven by the growing demand for textiles and the need for specialized materials in various manufacturing processes.

The production of the items covered under HS code 560600 typically involves several key steps. Yarn and strip are often produced through spinning or extrusion processes, while gimped yarn is created by wrapping one yarn around another. Chenille yarn is made by twisting or weaving together a core yarn with cut pile fibers, creating a distinctive fuzzy appearance. Loop wale-yarn is produced by looping and intertwining multiple strands of yarn to create a textured, looped surface.

The main inputs required for the production of the goods under HS code 560600 include natural and synthetic fibers, such as cotton, wool, polyester, and nylon. Specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, extruders, and weaving or knitting equipment, is also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, various chemicals and dyes may be used to impart specific properties or aesthetic qualities to the final products.

The outputs of the industries covered by HS code 560600 are widely used in the production of a variety of textile-based products. The yarn, strip, and other materials may be further processed and incorporated into 520100 Woven fabrics of cotton, 540700 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, and 580100 Woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, other than fabrics of heading 58.02 or 58.06, among others. These intermediate products are then used in the manufacture of clothing, home textiles, industrial textiles, and a range of other applications.
