About textile wall coverings

HS code 5905 covers textile wall coverings, an important segment of the global textile industry. These products play a crucial role in interior design, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits to residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. The textile wall coverings industry is closely tied to the broader construction and real estate sectors, as demand for these products is driven by new construction, renovations, and changing design trends.

Production process

Textile wall coverings are produced using a variety of techniques, including weaving, knitting, and printing. Woven wall coverings are created by interlacing warp and weft threads, often using specialized looms. Knitted wall coverings are produced using knitting machines, which create a more flexible and drapable fabric. Printed wall coverings are created by applying dyes or pigments to a textile substrate, allowing for a wide range of patterns and designs.

Production inputs

The production of textile wall coverings requires a range of raw materials, including natural and synthetic fibers, such as cotton, polyester, and nylon. Manufacturers also rely on dyes, pigments, and various chemical treatments to achieve the desired color, texture, and performance characteristics. Specialized machinery, such as looms, knitting machines, and printing equipment, are essential for the efficient and high-quality production of these products.
