Textile machinery; drawing or roving machines for preparing textile fibres

HS v2017 Code: 844513

About textile machinery; drawing or roving machines for preparing textile fibres

hs code 844513 covers a critical segment of the textile industry - the machinery used for preparing textile fibres. These drawing and roving machines play a vital role in the production of a wide range of textile products, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial textiles. As a key component of the global textile supply chain, this industry supports economic activity across multiple sectors and is an important contributor to international trade.

Production process

The primary function of the machinery described by hs code 844513 is to transform raw textile fibres, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic materials, into a continuous strand or 'roving' that can then be spun into yarn. This is achieved through a series of mechanical processes that include carding, drawing, and roving. Carding disentangles and aligns the fibres, while drawing and roving further refine the material, creating a uniform and consistent roving that is ready for spinning.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the textile machinery covered by hs code 844513 include metal components for the machinery frame and moving parts, as well as electrical and electronic components for the control systems. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of designing, manufacturing, and maintaining this specialized equipment. Raw materials, such as steel and other metals, are also essential inputs for the production of these machines.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry described by hs code 844513 is the textile machinery itself, which is then sold to textile manufacturers and processors. These machines are used in the production of a wide range of textile products, including 520100 Cotton, 510000 Wool, and 550000 Man-made fibres, among others. The output of this industry is a critical input for the broader textile and apparel manufacturing sectors, which are represented by codes such as 630000 Textiles, made up articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags and 640000 Footwear, gaiters and the like; parts of such articles.
