HS v2017 Code: 844842

About weaving machines (looms); parts including their auxiliary machinery, and accessories thereof, reeds for looms, healds and heald-frames

hs code 844842 covers a critical component of the textile manufacturing industry - weaving machines, also known as looms. These machines are responsible for interlacing warp and weft threads to create woven fabrics, a fundamental process in the production of textiles. The weaving industry plays a vital role in the global economy, providing essential materials for clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications.

Production process

The production of weaving machines involves the assembly of various mechanical and electronic components. Key steps include the fabrication of the loom frame, installation of the warp and weft thread delivery systems, integration of the control mechanisms, and final testing and calibration. Advancements in technology have led to the development of computerized looms that offer increased efficiency, precision, and programmability.

Production inputs

The weaving machine industry relies on a range of inputs, including metal alloys for the loom frame, specialized textile fibers for the warp and weft threads, and electronic components for the control systems. Additionally, the industry requires skilled technicians and engineers to design, manufacture, and maintain these complex machines.

Production outputs

The primary output of the weaving machine industry is the production of woven fabrics, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of industries, including 650000 Textile, 630000 Apparel, and 940000 Furniture. The specific characteristics of the woven fabric, such as fiber content, weave pattern, and weight, determine its suitability for various end-use applications.
