Textiles; transmission or conveyor belts or belting, of textile material, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, or reinforced with metal or other material

HS code 591000 covers a diverse range of textile-based products used for industrial and commercial applications. These textiles, often referred to as 'technical textiles', play a crucial role in various industries, including manufacturing, transportation, and infrastructure. They are valued for their durability, strength, and versatility, making them essential components in the global supply chain.

The production of textiles under HS code 591000 typically involves weaving, knitting, or braiding techniques using specialized fibers and materials. These may include natural fibers like cotton, wool, or silk, as well as synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, or aramid. The textiles are then often impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics or reinforced with metal or other materials to enhance their physical properties and performance characteristics.

The main inputs required for the production of textiles under HS code 591000 include a variety of raw materials, such as textile fibers, yarns, and fabrics. Specialized machinery, such as weaving, knitting, or coating equipment, is also essential. Additionally, chemicals, adhesives, and other processing agents may be used to impart specific properties to the final products.

The textiles produced under HS code 591000 are primarily used as 848300 transmission or conveyor belts or belting in various industrial and commercial applications. These textiles may also be used in the production of 590310 textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, 590390 textile fabrics otherwise impregnated, coated or covered, and 590700 textile fabrics otherwise impregnated, coated or covered; painted canvas being theatrical scenery, studio back-cloths or the like. The versatility of these technical textiles allows them to be utilized across a wide range of industries, contributing to the overall efficiency and productivity of global supply chains.
