Silk-worm cocoons suitable for reeling

HS v2022 Code: 5001

About silk-worm cocoons suitable for reeling

HS code 5001 covers silk-worm cocoons that are suitable for reeling. The silk industry is a vital part of the global textile economy, with silk-producing countries playing a significant role in international trade. Silk-worm cocoons are the raw material that kickstarts the silk production process, making this code an important entry point for the broader silk supply chain.

Production process

Silk-worm cocoons are produced through a carefully managed process of silk-worm rearing. Silk-worms are fed mulberry leaves and allowed to spin their cocoons, which are then harvested. The cocoons are then boiled or steamed to kill the pupae inside, after which the silk filaments can be unwound and processed into raw silk.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of silk-worm cocoons suitable for reeling are mulberry leaves to feed the silk-worms, as well as the silk-worms themselves. Specialized facilities and equipment are also required to properly raise the silk-worms and harvest the cocoons.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 5001 is raw silk in the form of silk filaments that can be further processed and woven into silk fabrics and textiles. These silk products are then consumed by 5002 Silk, raw and 5003 Silk waste for additional processing and manufacturing.
