About weaving machines (looms); parts including their auxiliary machinery, and accessories thereof n.e.c. in item no. 8448.4

hs code 844849 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 raw materials for a wide range of consumer and industrial products, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial textiles and technical fabrics.

Production process

Weaving machines utilize a variety of techniques to produce woven fabrics. The most common method involves the use of a shuttle to pass the weft thread through the warp threads, which are held in tension on the loom. As the shuttle moves back and forth, the warp and weft threads are interlaced, creating the desired fabric pattern. Advancements in weaving technology have led to the development of shuttleless looms, which use alternative methods such as air jets or rapiers to insert the weft thread, allowing for higher production speeds and greater efficiency.

Production inputs

The production of weaving machines (looms) and their associated parts and accessories requires a range of inputs, including metal components for the frame and moving parts, electronic controls and sensors, and specialized textiles for the weaving process. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, both in the manufacturing of the machines and in their operation within textile production facilities. Machinery and equipment used in the weaving industry are often highly specialized and require significant investment, making access to capital an important input as well.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 844849 is weaving machines and their associated parts and accessories. These machines are essential for the production of woven fabrics, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 520100 Manufacture of textiles, 520200 Manufacture of wearing apparel, and 940400 Manufacture of furniture. The weaving machines and components produced under this code are also exported globally, contributing to international trade in textile manufacturing equipment.
