About yarn spun from silk waste, not put up for retail sale
HS code 5005 covers yarn spun from silk waste, which is a valuable byproduct of the silk production industry. This yarn is an important input for a range of textile and apparel products, contributing to the global textile supply chain. The production and trade of silk waste yarn plays a significant role in the economies of major silk-producing countries, providing employment and income opportunities for workers in the textile manufacturing sector.
Production process
The production of yarn spun from silk waste typically involves a series of processing steps. First, the silk waste, which consists of short, tangled fibers left over from silk reeling and weaving, is cleaned and sorted. The fibers are then carded to align and remove impurities, followed by spinning to create the yarn. Depending on the desired characteristics, the yarn may undergo additional processing, such as twisting or plying, before being prepared for sale or further textile manufacturing.
Production inputs
The primary input for the production of HS code 5005 yarn is silk waste, which is generated during the silk production process. Other key inputs include spinning machinery, such as carding machines and spinning frames, as well as energy sources and labor. Manufacturers may also require access to a reliable supply of water and chemicals for cleaning and processing the silk fibers.
Production outputs
The yarn produced under HS code 5005 is a versatile input for a range of textile and apparel products. It can be used in the production of 5007 Woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste, 6004 Knitted or crocheted fabrics, of a width exceeding 30 cm, containing by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, and 6214 Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like, among other textile goods. The availability of high-quality silk waste yarn can support the competitiveness of these downstream industries.
