Machines; for reeling, unreeling, folding, cutting or pinking textile fabrics

HS v2017 Code: 845150

About machines; for reeling, unreeling, folding, cutting or pinking textile fabrics

hs code 845150 covers a range of machines used in the textile industry for processing and manipulating fabric. These machines play a crucial role in the production and finishing of textiles, enabling manufacturers to efficiently reel, unreel, fold, cut, or pink (trim the edge of) various textile materials. As a key component of the broader textile supply chain, the machines described by this code contribute significantly to the global textile industry, which is a major driver of economic activity and employment worldwide.

Production process

The machines classified under hs code 845150 utilize a variety of mechanical processes to perform their designated tasks. Reeling and unreeling machines, for example, employ spindles and spools to wind and unwind fabric, enabling efficient handling and transport. Folding machines use rollers, belts, and other mechanisms to precisely fold textiles, while cutting machines incorporate blades or laser technology to accurately cut fabric to desired shapes and sizes. Pinking machines, on the other hand, utilize specialized serrated blades to create a decorative, zig-zag edge on fabrics.

Production inputs

The production of the machines covered by hs code 845150 requires a range of inputs, including metal components for the structural frame and moving parts, as well as electrical and electronic components for the control systems. Manufacturers may also utilize specialized software and programming to ensure the precise operation of these machines. Additionally, the machines themselves are a key input for textile producers, who rely on them to efficiently process and manipulate fabrics throughout the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry described by hs code 845150 is the machines themselves, which are then sold to textile manufacturers, garment producers, and other businesses in the textile supply chain. These machines may be used in the production of a wide range of textile products, including 520100 Cotton, 540100 Synthetic filaments, and 590700 Textile fabrics; impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, other than those of heading 5902, among others.
