HS v2022 Code: 5003

About silk waste (including cocoons unsuitable for reeling, yarn waste and garnetted stock)

HS code 5003 covers a range of silk waste products, including cocoons unsuitable for reeling, yarn waste, and garnetted stock. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader silk textile supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of high-quality silk fabrics and garments. The efficient management and utilization of silk waste are vital to the sustainability and profitability of the silk industry, which is a significant contributor to the global textile economy.

Production process

The main production techniques for HS code 5003 involve the collection, sorting, and processing of various silk waste materials. Cocoons unsuitable for reeling are typically opened and the silk fibers are extracted. Yarn waste, which includes broken or damaged silk threads, is collected and processed through techniques like garnetting, which involves separating the fibers and preparing them for reuse. The resulting silk waste materials are then cleaned, graded, and prepared for sale to manufacturers of silk textiles and other silk-based products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the HS code 5003 industry include raw silk cocoons, silk yarn, and other silk waste materials. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as silk waste processing machines, are required for the efficient handling and processing of these materials. Labor, energy, and transportation services are also important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the HS code 5003 industry are various types of silk waste products, including silk noils, silk floss, and silk waste. These materials are then consumed by manufacturers of 5004 Silk yarn, not put up for retail sale, 5005 Yarn spun from silk waste, not put up for retail sale, and 5006 Silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste, put up for retail sale; silk-worm gut, who use them as raw materials for the production of silk textiles, fabrics, and other silk-based products.
