About fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed
HS code 5102 covers the trade and production of fine or coarse animal hair that has not been carded or combed. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacture of a wide range of products, from high-end fabrics to industrial applications. The demand for these animal-derived fibers is driven by their unique properties, such as durability, insulation, and natural luster, making them a valuable commodity in both domestic and international markets.
Production process
The production of fine or coarse animal hair under HS code 5102 typically involves a series of steps, including shearing, sorting, cleaning, and packaging. Shearing is the process of carefully removing the hair from the animal, often using specialized equipment to ensure the fibers are not damaged. The sorted hair is then cleaned to remove any impurities or contaminants, often through a combination of mechanical and chemical processes. Finally, the clean, sorted hair is packaged for distribution and further processing by downstream industries.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the production of fine or coarse animal hair under HS code 5102 are the live animals themselves, such as 0101 Live horses, asses, mules and hinnies, 0102 Live bovine animals, 0103 Live swine, and 0104 Live sheep and goats. In addition to the animal source, the industry also requires specialized shearing equipment, cleaning and sorting machinery, and packaging materials to ensure the safe and efficient transport of the raw materials.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the HS code 5102 industry are the fine or coarse animal hair fibers themselves, which are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries. These fibers are commonly used in the production of 5101 Wool, not carded or combed, 5103 Waste of wool or of fine or coarse animal hair, including yarn waste but excluding garnetted stock, and 5105 Wool and fine or coarse animal hair, carded or combed, which are further processed into a wide range of textile products, including clothing, carpets, and industrial textiles.
