About silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste, put up for retail sale; silk-worm gut
HS code 5006 covers the production and trade of silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste, which are put up for retail sale. This industry plays a vital role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing high-quality raw materials for the manufacture of luxurious fabrics and garments. As a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fiber, silk is highly sought after for its unique luster, softness, and durability, making it a valuable commodity in both domestic and international markets.
Production process
The production of silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste involves a series of complex processes. First, the silk cocoons are harvested and the raw silk fibers are extracted. These fibers are then degummed, dyed, and twisted into yarn using specialized machinery. For silk waste yarn, the leftover fibers from silk production are collected, cleaned, and spun into yarn. Both types of yarn are then prepared for retail sale, often by winding them onto spools or skeins.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for this industry are the raw silk cocoons and silk waste fibers. Silk production requires a significant investment in mulberry plantations, silkworm rearing facilities, and specialized processing equipment. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to handle the delicate silk fibers and operate the yarn-making machinery. Other important inputs include dyes, lubricants, and packaging materials.
Production outputs
The main outputs of this industry are 5006 silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste, which are then consumed by the 5007 woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste and 6004 knitted or crocheted fabrics of a width exceeding 30 cm, containing by weight 5% or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread industries. These high-quality silk yarns are used in the production of a wide range of luxury textiles, including apparel, home furnishings, and accessories.
