Wool, not carded or combed
HS v2022 Code: 5101
About wool, not carded or combed
HS code 5101 covers raw, unprocessed wool that has not undergone carding or combing. This natural fiber is a crucial raw material for the textile industry, providing the foundation for a wide range of woolen products, from clothing and upholstery to carpets and insulation. As a renewable and biodegradable resource, wool plays a significant role in the global economy, supporting industries that are essential to both consumer and industrial markets.
Production process
The production of wool under HS code 5101 involves the shearing of sheep, goats, and other wool-bearing animals. The raw wool is then cleaned, sorted, and graded based on factors such as fiber length, crimp, and color. This process ensures the wool meets the specific requirements of various textile applications. The wool may also undergo additional processing, such as scouring, to remove impurities and prepare it for further manufacturing.
Production inputs
The primary input for the wool industry under HS code 5101 is the live animals that produce the raw wool, such as sheep, goats, and alpacas. Other key inputs include shearing equipment, cleaning and sorting machinery, and storage facilities to maintain the quality of the wool. Additionally, the industry relies on transportation networks to move the raw wool from farms and ranches to processing facilities and textile manufacturers.
Production outputs
The wool produced under HS code 5101 is a crucial input for a wide range of textile products, including 5102 Fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed, 5103 Waste of wool or of fine or coarse animal hair, and 5105 Wool and fine or coarse animal hair, carded or combed. These processed wool products are then used in the production of clothing, upholstery, carpets, and other textile goods, supporting a diverse range of industries and consumer markets.
