Wool; (not carded or combed), degreased, (not carbonised), shorn

HS v2022 Code: 510121

About wool; (not carded or combed), degreased, (not carbonised), shorn

HS code 510121 covers shorn wool that has been degreased but not carded or combed. This type of wool is a critical raw material for the textile industry, particularly in the production of high-quality fabrics, clothing, and other woolen goods. As a natural, renewable fiber, wool from this classification is in high demand globally and plays a significant role in international trade and the broader economy.

Production process

The production of wool under HS code 510121 involves the shearing of sheep, followed by a degreasing process to remove natural oils and impurities from the raw wool. This degreased wool is then sorted, graded, and packaged for distribution to textile manufacturers and other downstream industries. The degreasing step is crucial to ensure the wool's quality and suitability for further processing, such as spinning, weaving, and dyeing.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of wool under HS code 510121 is, of course, the raw wool from sheep. Sheep farming and wool production require significant land, water, and labor resources. Additionally, the degreasing process may involve the use of specialized chemicals and equipment. Machinery for shearing, sorting, and packaging the wool is also an essential input for this industry.

Production outputs

The wool produced under HS code 510121 is a key input for the textile industry, particularly in the manufacture of high-quality fabrics, clothing, and other woolen goods. This wool may be further processed and combined with other fibers, such as 510129 wool, not carded or combed, 510130 fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed, or 540700 woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, to create a wide range of textile products.
