HS v2017 Code: 844711

About knitting machines; circular, with cylinder diameter not exceeding 165mm

hs code 844711 covers the import and export of circular knitting machines with a cylinder diameter not exceeding 165mm. These specialized machines play a crucial role in the textile manufacturing industry, enabling the efficient production of a wide range of knitted fabrics and garments. As a key component of the global textile supply chain, the trade and utilization of these machines have significant economic implications, contributing to the overall growth and competitiveness of the textile sector.

Production process

Circular knitting machines, as described by hs code 844711, utilize a cylindrical needle bed to produce seamless, tubular knitted fabrics. The process involves the continuous feeding of yarn through a series of needles, which interlock the yarn to create the desired knitted structure. These machines are capable of producing a variety of knit patterns and designs, making them versatile tools for textile manufacturers.

Production inputs

The production of circular knitting machines, as classified under hs code 844711, requires a range of specialized inputs. This includes high-precision mechanical components, such as needles, sinkers, and cylinder/dial assemblies, as well as advanced electronic control systems. Additionally, the manufacturing process relies on skilled labor, engineering expertise, and access to specialized materials like metals, plastics, and lubricants.

Production outputs

Circular knitting machines classified under hs code 844711 are primarily used to produce a wide array of knitted fabrics and garments. These outputs are then consumed by various downstream industries, including 841500 Clothing and accessories, 630100 Blankets and traveling rugs, and 630300 (Curtains (including drapes) and interior blinds; curtain or bed valances).
