About textile products and articles for technical uses; specified in note 7 to this chapter

HS code 5911 covers a diverse range of textile products and articles used for technical applications. These specialized textiles play a crucial role in various industries, from manufacturing and construction to transportation and filtration. As an integral part of the global supply chain, the products under this code contribute significantly to the overall efficiency and performance of many industrial processes.

Production process

The production of textile products and articles for technical uses often involves advanced manufacturing techniques. This may include weaving, knitting, or nonwoven fabric formation, followed by specialized finishing processes such as coating, lamination, or impregnation. The specific techniques employed depend on the intended application and the required performance characteristics of the final product.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 5911 items requires a range of raw materials, including high-performance fibers, specialized chemicals, and advanced machinery. Common fiber inputs may include synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as natural fibers like glass, carbon, or aramid. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized chemicals for treatments, coatings, and finishes to enhance the textiles' durability, heat resistance, or filtration capabilities. Sophisticated production equipment, such as weaving machines, knitting machines, and coating lines, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The diverse range of textile products and articles covered by HS code 5911 find applications in a wide variety of industries. These include 8421 Machinery for filtering or purifying gases, 8424 Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders, 8430 Machinery not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter, for moving, grading, leveling, scraping, excavating, tamping, compacting, extracting or boring the ground, and 8479 Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter. The technical textiles produced under this code are essential for ensuring the efficient and reliable performance of these industrial applications.
